When connected in parallel the current is divided amongst the resistances.

As it can various paths to pass on to the other side. thrfr, it is decided on the basis of resistance how much current passes thru it. Since the current changes acc. to the resistance effectively, the potential ( V= i R) about each remains the same.

And V doesn't depend on the resistance attached between the points.

It rather depends on the remaining circuit.

Even if you remove the resistance the potential remains the same.
