Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Friday requested Punjab Governor Banwari Lal Purohit to direct the Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to withdraw his statement surrendering the rights of Punjab over Chandigarh besides apprising the Union Home Minister that Punjabis will not tolerate transfer of even one inch of land in Chandigarh to Haryana. SAD’s senior delegation, led by party president Sukhbir Singh Badal, submitted a memorandum in this regard to the Governor. Asking the Governor to direct the Chief Minister to protect Punjab’s interests, the delegation apprised the former that Bhagwant Mann had not protested against the steady erosion of Punjab’s rights in Chandigarh, including creation of the UT cadre, implementation of central pay scales, and dilution of the status of Punjabi language besides other important issues like removal of Punjab’s representative in the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB).
