Prime Minister Narendra Modi today (25 November) laid the foundation stone for AIIMS in Bhatinda, Punjab.
Addressing a public rally there, Modi said that ‘our farmers’ must have adequate water and that water that belongs to India cannot be allowed to go to Pakistan. He also said that much of the water that flows through Pakistan ends up flowing into the seas and that he will try to retain it instead for Indian farmers.
