"Similarly Punjab can defend its rights on the its river waters under constitutional provisions when the state has not even enough water for its own needs," he said.He said as the Punjab Congress chief and now as chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh had been taking a clear stand on the issue. Khaira said he expected that the CM would take the required measures and opposition would also support. Asked about his party convener Arvind Kejriwal's views on the issue, Khaira said stand of the AAP legislative party in Punjab assembly was very clear and there was no need to drag in the national leadership.Khaira defends AAP MLAs seeking vehicles, securityKhaira defended AAP MLAs accepting government vehicles and security saying that most of their legislators came from humble backgrounds and they did need a vehicle to move around for public causes.
