Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) President Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has expressed concern about the water distribution policies and emphasizes that such decisions must be made through collective agreement rather than by a single authority.

He highlighted President Asif Ali Zardari’s warning to the government against making unilateral decisions on the construction of new channels from the River Indus and emphasizing the need for national consensus on the matter, Express News reported.

In a speech with journalists in Parliament’s House on Tuesday, Bilawal emphasized that the Indus River System is Pakistan’s lifeline and any decision on its management should involve consultation with all provinces.

He said Zardari’s warning is in the midst of growing concerns about water scarcity, climate change and fair resource distribution.

The PPP chairman also addressed the deteriorating law and order situation in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP), who warned that if the provincial government does not take effective actions, the federal government will have to step in. He said PPP and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) will hold consultations on the security crisis and decide an action.

Bilawal criticized the KP government and said it had not controlled the deteriorating security situation. He noted that despite rising events with terrorism and lawlessness, the provincial minister of chief has not visited affected areas. He insisted that maintenance of security was not only a provincial responsibility, but also a federal obligation if the situation continued to deteriorate.

PPP chairman emphasized that Zardari’s address to Parliament was historic, which marked the eighth time he has dealt with the legislature. He praised the president for covering all major national issues, including finances, security and water resource management.

He reiterated that PPP had been the first to raise concern about the new Canals questions and rejected claims that the party had been silent. He pointed out that Nawab Yousuf Talpur, a senior PPP leader, had dedicated his last parliamentary speech to highlight the water crisis and warn of incorrect management in channel development.

Bilawal accused opposition parties of using the issue of political point scoring and said national issues such as water distribution should be handled responsibly. He urged the government to listen to Zardari’s concerns and ensure that any new water infrastructure projects are implemented with transparency and provincial consensus.

Bilawal also affected the state of the economy and expressed optimism for inflation stabilizing and positive indicators emerging. He credited to cooperation efforts between political parties to improve financial conditions and said that PPP was ready to work with the government to ensure further stability.

He added that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had reassured PPP that its concerns would be treated, especially in budget planning and distribution of resources. He suggested that PPP and PML-N jointly prepare the upcoming budget and ensure that it reflects the needs of all provinces.

PPP chairman emphasized that Pakistan must acknowledge the challenges presented by climate change and water scarcity. He noted that the Indus River Water Distribution must be controlled sustainably as future generations depend on it.

He urged the government to develop a long -term water management strategy to deal with growing deficiencies and ensure a fair allocation among provinces.

He concluded by stating that Pakistan’s economic future, food security and environmental stability depends on responsible management of natural resources. He confirmed PPP’s obligation to advocate for sustainable policies and warned against short -lived, politically motivated decisions on key issues such as water and security.
