Sadda Paani Sadda Haq: Simarjit Bains announces to launch signature campaign against loot of River waters of Punjab

:dateline:On July 6, the Lok Insaaf Party headed by MLA Simarjit Singh Bains announced to launch a signature campaign named �Sadda Pani Sadda Haq� from July 12 urging the Punjab government to charge neighboring states for the water being given to them free of cost. It is learnt that the party has fixed a target of getting signatures of 2.1 million residents of Punjab to move a petition with the Punjab Assembly Petition Committee after two months.

�The sole motive of this signature campaign is to build consensus among the people over water being given to the neighboring states free of cost,� said Simarjit Singh Bains while talking to media in Jalandhar.�

Bains informed that this signature campaign will be begun from Kapurthala and later he will be visiting the various headquarters and subdivisions across the state.

Recalling a bill passed in the Punjab assembly on November 2, 2016 to recover the price of water from Rajasthan, Delhi and Haryana, Bains said that we are giving 8 million acre foot water to Rajasthan without charging any cost and if we start charging for this water then the state would get around Rupees 15 trillion.
