Chandigarh : Punjab Congress president Capt Amarinder Singh today dared Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to own the moral responsibility for his government filing an affidavit in the Supreme Court of India supporting Haryana’s stand on the SYL and apologise to the people of Punjab.
“Just by saying that your law officer acted on his own, you cannot escape the responsibility since you happen to be the head of the government,” Amarinder reminded him, adding: “No law officer or counsel acts of his own and he appears in the court after being duly briefed by the government.”
He said Kejriwal stood exposed in the matter either way. “Either his intentions towards Punjab are not honest or he has no control over what is happening in his government,” he remarked.
“His characteristic backing out notwithstanding, what his legal counsel stated in the Supreme Court is in strong coherence with what Kejriwal had himself said earlier that all states, including Haryana and Delhi, should get the water,” he added.
