Badal meets Manmohan

NEW DELHI, JULY 22. The former Punjab Chief Minister and Akali Dal chief, Parkash Singh Badal, today met the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, and sought his intervention in the water row so that the issue could be decided afresh by the Supreme Court or a tribunal.

``All the old water agreements which Punjab has with other States should be scrapped and either the Supreme Court or a new tribunal should decide who should be given how much water,'' the Akali Dal general secretary, Sukhbir Badal, told reporters here after meeting the Prime Minister.
