Centre Must Reconsider Water Distribution Ordinances Issued During Emergency: Prof. Sarchand Singh Khiala

AMRITSAR: Bharatiya Janata Party’s Punjab State Spokesperson, Prof. Sarchand Singh Khiala, has written a letter to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, urging him to review and amend all ordinances issued by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi during the 1975 Emergency, which he termed as violative of the basic spirit of the Indian Constitution and the federal structure. In particular, he raised serious concerns over the ordinance issued on 24 March 1976, under which Punjab’s river waters were unjustly and unconstitutionally redistributed.
