CHANDIGARH,April 1,2022: 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.
