Moving the resolution during the specially convened session of the Assembly, Haryana CM Om Prakash Chautala appealed to all parties to rise above 8216;8216;petty politics8217;8217; to pass the resolution unanimously.

The Supreme Court had, while accepting Haryana8217;s execution application and dismissing the suit of the Punjab government on June 4, directed the Centre to mobilise a central agency to take control of the canal works from Punjab within a month.

He urged the Centre to construct the canal as early as possible and the Punjab government, as 8216;8216;the elder brother of Haryana8217;8217;, to gracefully accept the SC verdict.
