Withdrawal of Prez reference not possible: Captain

NANGAL: Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) president Capt Amarinder Singh on Wednesday said it was not possible to withdraw the presidential reference on rivers waters of Punjab

He was reacting to the demand of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) that Modi government must withdraw Presidential reference on river waters, on the sidelines of ‘Halke Vich Captain’ programme at Nangal.

“How it is possible to withdraw the Presidential reference when the Supreme Court had completed the hearing and judgment has been written,” Capt said. He said AAP leader HS Phoolka was a small criminal lawyer, who did not know anything, adding that he shot to fame only because he fought cases of 1984 Delhi riots victims.

The former chief minister rejected the meagre 38 paise per unit reduction in power tariff for the industrial sector, saying it was a big joke on the industry.
