Punjab Assembly passes resolution against CISF deployment at dams; CM reiterates 'not a drop to spare'

Chandigarh, July 11 (UNI) Led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, the Punjab Vidhan Sabha today passed a historic resolution opposing the deployment of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) at state dams, citing both financial burden and federal overreach.
Addressing the House, the Chief Minister launched a scathing attack on the BJP and Congress, accusing both parties of deliberately dividing the country along regional, linguistic, sectarian, and communal lines. "If these parties were honest in their intentions toward the nation, India could achieve unparalleled progress in every sector," he stated.
Criticizing the Centre’s priorities, Mann remarked, “If Prime Minister Modi can find time to mediate between Russia and Ukraine, why can’t he resolve the dispute between Punjab and Haryana, who contribute over 70 per cent to the national food pool and are like brothers?” He alleged that successive governments in both states have deliberately fueled discord for political gain.
