A day after Punjab Cabinet met the President on the Satluj Yamuna link (SYl) case, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Tuesday met senior counsel Harish Salve representing the State in SYl case in the Supreme Court, slated for hearing on November 30.
A spokesperson of the Chief Minister’s Office said that Badal called on Harish Salve and apprised him that SYl was not merely a political or legal issue for them rather it was an emotive issue, which should be tackled on the top priority with utmost sensitivity and caution, as river waters was the lifeline of every Punjabi especially the farmers.
Badal said that according to the Riparian Principles, Punjab had absolute right over its river waters but through various agreements and decisions it had been robbed of its due share in broad daylight.
