Chandigarh, July 31: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab has strongly opposed the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation’s decision regarding parking fees (which proposes to double the parking fees for vehicles from outside Chandigarh). The party said that this is a dictatorial and tyrannical decision of the BJP-ruled Chandigarh Municipal Corporation.
Addressing the media in a press conference at the party headquarters on Monday, the Aam Aadmi Party Punjab Chief Spokesperson Malvinder Singh Kang condemned the decision and said that the BJP is constantly plotting to oust Punjab from its own capital, Chandigarh. This decision is a part of their conspiracies against Punjab.
Advocating Punjab’s claim on Chandigarh, Kang said that the BJP should keep in mind that Chandigarh is the capital of Punjab. Chandigarh has been built on the land of Punjab’s villages. Lakhs of people of Punjab live here and commute here daily. Therefore, the people of Punjab will fave the impact of this decision the most. Punjab will never tolerate such a decision.
Kang appealed to the Governor of Punjab and Administrator of Chandigarh Banwarilal Purohit not to accept this decision. He said that the proposal of Chandigarh Municipal Corporation can become a law only when the Governor signs it. That’s why the Governor should think for Punjab and Punjabis before signing.
Kang warned the BJP to desist from such antics and not tamper with the rights of Punjab over Chandigarh. He said that any such decision to weaken Punjab’s authority over Chandigarh is unacceptable.
