SYL row: Jaihind threatens protest during Kejriwal’s Haryana visit

Former AAP state chief Naveen Jaihind said Kejriwal and his Punjab counter Bhagwant Mann are responsible for the people of Haryana not getting SYL water as they are not implementing the SC directives

Ahead of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor and Delhi chief minister (CM) Arvind Kejriwal’s Haryana visit on Sunday, the party’s former state chief Naveen Jaihind threatened to stage a protest against him over the Sutlej-Yamuna Link (SYL) canal issue.

He said that Kejriwal and his Punjab counter Bhagwant Mann are responsible for the people of Haryana not getting SYL water as they are not implementing the SC directives.

Meanwhile, some defamatory posters against Kejriwal, targeting him over the SYL issue, surfaced in Rohtak city on Saturday.

Reacting to this, Jaihind said, “I want to thank the persons who pasted the posters. Haryana residents should join our protest.”

AAP’s Haryana unit senior vice-president Anurag Dhanda said the BJP and Congress are responsible for the SYL issues and both parties want to keep this issue alive. “Some people have pasted derogatory posters against the Delhi CM, which shows they are afraid of our party chief and our party. We will form the next government in Haryana,” Dhanda added.
