NDTV
The Punjab and Haryana governments share the Vidhan Sabha complex which is next to the Punjab and Haryana Civil Secretariat in Chandigarh.
Punjab health minister Chetan Singh Jauramajra has said that if the Haryana government wants to set up a separate building for its Vidhan Sabha, it may do so in any part of Haryana but not in Chandigarh.
He claimed that Chandigarh always belonged to Punjab and will remain so, and the Haryana government will not be allowed to build an assembly building in Chandigarh.
Talking to media persons in Samana in Patiala district last evening, he said, "if Haryana wants to build its own assembly they may do so in Panchkula, Faridabad, or Kurukshetra but not in Chandigarh".
He was asked to comment on Union Home Minister Amit Shah who on Saturday announced land for setting up an additional building for Haryana Vidhan Sabha in Chandigarh.
