Chandigarh : Suspended AAP MP Dr Dharamvira Gandhi said here today that he was ready to resign as a member of the Lok Sabha on the riverwaters issue. “But before taking this step, I will ask all other MPs from Punjab to do the same,” he said.
He added that if the MPs did not agree to quit, he would request them to stall the functioning of Parliament till justice was done to the state.
“Punjab has suffered a lot over the past several decades. It is the duty of the elected representatives from the state to save it from more suffering,” he said.
Dr Gandhi said Punjab did not have a drop of surplus water, so it was the need of the hour to revisit all old agreements on the riverwaters.
Meanwhile, the Dr Gandhi-led Punjab Front and the CPI (Marxist-Leninist Liberation) staged a protest here today against the SYL canal. Leaders of the Democratic Swaraj Party, Akhand Akali Dal and the Bahujan Sangharsh Dal were among those who took part.
Manjit Singh and Harbans Singh, president and general secretary of the Democratic Swaraj Party, respectively, Sukhdev Singh Bhaur of the Akhand Akali Dal, Resham Singh of the Bahujan Sangharsh Dal and Sukhdarshan Natt of the CPI (ML Liberation) also addressed the gathering.
