Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has categorically said that the state does not have even a single drop of water to share with the other states. He said that Punjab has already given 4000 cusec of water to Haryana on humanitarian grounds to fulfil their drinking water needs. Mann said that the water situation is already dismal in the state.

In a statement, he said that Haryana has already utilised all the water of its share in the month of March this year, due to which they are now trying to grab some more water by robbing Punjab of its water.

Union Minister of State for Railways and Food Processing, Ravneet Singh Bittu, has also condemned the Punjab Chief Minister for raking up a water dispute with Haryana at a time when the nation is facing Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. Describing it as a shameful act, he said that although Punjab has full rights to its full share of river waters, it is unfortunate that Mann chose this time to divide the states and play petty politics over national interests.
