The Shiromani Akali Dal today hit back at AAP convener and Delhi CM Mr. Arvind Kejriwal for describing the SYL issue as a political one and said that it is not a political issue but an issue related to the survival of Punjab and Punjabi farmers.In a hard hitting statement released here today, the SAD President and Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal said that it was utterly surprising that when Punjab is  fighting a tough battle to save its lifeline by saving its precious waters, the AAP leadership is terming it as a political issue. He said that the state had already suffered huge losses due to wrong, illogical and mindless decisions of the erstwhile Congress led  centre governments who gave a major share of waters of the state to non-riparian states and now the Delhi CM is terming this very emotional issue which is concerned with the very survival of life on Punjab as a political one.Mr Badal said that it was also surprising that the AAP leadership had already started talking against the state even though they are contesting elections, what will happen if they grab power in state is now clear to everyone. 

He said that AAP particularly Mr. Kejriwal wants to deprive the state of its waters so that hard earned peace of the state is disturbed which is the sole motive of this rookie party.Lashing out at the Delhi based party  for trying to disturb the communal harmony and peace in the state, He said that after the arrest of Delhi MLA of AAP in the desecration case of Kuran Sharif, incidents in this regard stopped immediately in the state, which is ample proof that AAP is behind all the sacrilege incidents occurred in the state. He said that this party was toeing the line of the Congress whose agenda also is to disturb communal harmony of the society.Coming down heavily for deputing non Punjabis  to assess the work of the state leaders, Mr Badal further said that AAP is the only party in the history of the state which has appointed an all time working non Punjabi as Incharge of the state. He said that appointment of non Punjabi was done as Mr. Kejriwal and his coterie knows that Punjabis will never work against the state as per their diktats.  He said that motive of the AAP leadership is disturb the peace of the state only to derive political mileage of every incident and they are least cared for development of the state.
