Panchkula (Haryana), April 2: Haryana Cabinet Minister Anil Vij on Saturday slammed the Punjab Assembly resolution seeking claim on Chandigarh and called the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab a "baccha party" (a party of kids), adding that the latter doesn't have complete knowledge of issues. The Haryana Minister's remarks came a day after the Punjab Assembly on Friday passed a resolution reiterating the state's claim on Chandigarh, the capital it shares jointly with Haryana. The resolution, which was moved by Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, was passed by the House by a voice vote in the absence of the two BJP legislators, who had staged a walkout. Anil Vij responds to Punjab's take on Chandigarh issue Speaking to the media on Saturday, Vij said, "Punjab Government is a 'baccha party'. They don't have complete knowledge of issues. Chandigarh isn't the only issue. Many other issues are linked to it. Satluj Yamuna Link Canal, Hindi speaking areas issues... They said nothing on it. Only a single decision can be taken, whenever it happens."
