Chandigarh: The Punjab Vidhan Sabha on Friday unanimously adopted the resolution, moved by the leader of House and Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann urging the Centre to transfer Chandigarh to Punjab.

The House also implored the Central Government to honor the principles of federalism enshrined in our Constitution and not to take any steps which may disturb the balance in the administration of Chandigarh and that of other common assets like Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB).

However, the BJP MLA Ashwani Sharma vehemently opposed the resolution while taking part in the deliberations on the resolution and subsequently walked out from the assembly in protest.

Winding up the discussions after taking into consideration the points raised by various members of treasury and opposition benches during one day special sitting of first session of 16th Punjab Vidhan Sabha, Bhagwant Mann said his government would exploit all channels by seeking prior appointment from Centre to call on Prime Minister and Home Minister to mount pressure on Union Government in order to take their fight for legitimate rights of Punjab to its logical end.

Giving a clarion call to all the members of opposition, Bhagwant Mann solicited wholehearted support and cooperation from all the parties thus cutting across political affiliations as this issue was quite sensitive and of immense emotional and social significance. Therefore, in the larger public interest all of us should unite on a common platform to get the justifiable demands of state implemented from Centre in the letter and spirit.

Sharing his past experience as a parliamentarian, Bhagwant Mann exhorted all the MPs and MLAs from the state to exhibit the same spirit of unity and bonhomie as often demonstrated by the leaders of Southern states to safeguard the rights of their respective states rising above the vested interests and petty personal considerations.

Lambasting the BJP led Central government, Bhagwant Mann said that its leadership was bent upon to indulge in vendetta politics in general and especially in states like Punjab, Delhi, West Bengal where its leadership has miserably failed to get people’s mandate for formation of its government.

Highlighting the issue of drugs in the state, Bhagwant Mann said that he failed to understand despite the border of Rajasthan having an area more than 2.5 times and little over half of J&K’s border along with Pakistan without fencing was hardly facing any problem of drug abuse while Punjab was still grappling with the menace of drugs. Without mincing any words, he said ‘Chitta’ is being manufactured here in the state and those involved in such heinous activities and responsible for genocide of Punjabi youth would be soon unmasked.
