Speaking to the media after the meeting, the SGPC president said that no coercive action will be tolerated on the water issue of Punjab. He said that after the recent instruction given by the Supreme Court to the Centre and Punjab government regarding the survey of SYL, it is the duty of the Punjab government to represent the rights and interests of the state and clearly register its strong stand against SYL.
Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal said that if his party comes to power in Punjab in 2027, it will revoke all river water-sharing agreements with any state. He added that neighbouring states had no right on Punjab waters, and they were unduly getting nearly half of their total water. Furthermore, he said that Punjab had an inalienable right over the river waters flowing across it, referring to the Riparian Principle.
