Sindh water sharing: PPP president Nisar Ahmed Khuhro slams Imran Khan govt
Islamabad: Pakistan Peoples Party Sindh president Nisar Ahmed Khuhro recently slammed PM Imran Khan and accused the federal government of stealing Sindh’s share in water.
Khuhro said the federal budget does not make any mention of the province’s development schemes nor does it refer to National Finance Commission award.
He said at a rally at Hyder Chowk taken out by PPP activists against water shortage in Sindh on Sunday that it was the party’s 24th protest over water issue but their cries appeared to have fallen on deaf ears, reports Dawn News.
He said that flows from Tarbela dam were released at a wrong time and it was claimed the dam lacked storage.
Sindh needed water for its agriculture sector as millions of acres of land was getting barren without water, he was quoted as saying by the newspaper.
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf government was committing economic murder of people of Sindh, which in turn would cause economic chaos in the country. This government had surpassed all limits in committing excesses against Sindh, he said.
