Punjab -minister supports Kalabagh Dam

Punjab -Art Water Water Wigration Minister Kazim Pirzada has called for the construction of the Kalabagh dam in the midst of the ongoing controversy over the construction of six channels on the Indus River.

When he spoke on a private news channel, Pirzada said: “The Kalabagh Dam had to be built – 100 percent, it needs to be built. In terms of Sindh’s concern about water shortages, we only say that when there is an excess of water during flooding, it must be stored.”

When asked about the decisions adopted by all three provincial assemblies except Punjab, he replied, “We participate in politics in this question without giving a logical argument. If a reservoir is created, he will also benefit Punjab, as it benefits the whole country.”

Pirzada also supported Punjab -Information Minister Azma Bokhari’s claims that President Asif Ali Zardari had approved the construction of the six new channels.

The channel project has become a battle between the PML-N LED government and its most important allies, PPP.

PPP has been severely opposed to the project recently inaugurated by Coas -General Asim Munir and Punjab cm Maryam Nawaz. The PPP management has not only expressed objections, but also engaged in a war war with the reigning party in the center and Punjab.

Just a day after PPP chairman, the Bhutto-Zze-Zze-Zoni scheme condemned the scheme as “one-sided” during a speech that marked the year of death of his grandfather Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, a new dispute broke out between Punjab and Sindh Information Ministers.

In a talk with the media in Lahore, Punjab -Information Minister Azma Bukhari hit Bilawal and said his rally rhetoric did not offer any real solution.

“If he can take the time to meet with the federal government over provincial budgets,” she said, “he should also solve the channel question.”

Bukhari pointed out that the project had already received the president’s consent.

“It’s documented, it’s signed,” she emphasized, making it clear that the project had official support.

She accused PPP of playing politics with water and called the move “unlucky” and asked Bilawal’s choice of scene.

“Bilawal Bhutto should not talk about water solutions while standing at rallies,” she said. “Before she makes accusations, you must check the facts. This is channel policy,” she claimed.

In response to Bokhari’s remarks, Sindh Senh Senior Minister of Information Sharjeel Inam Memon questioned her understanding of the president’s constitutional powers.

“Do you have it [Bokhari] read the constitution? Do you know how to read the Constitution? “Said Memon during a medias interview in Karachi.

He also asked where it was stated in the Constitution that the president had the authority to approve such development projects.

“If the federal government has sent it to the president for approval, it was an incompetent move,” he added.

“It’s not his mandate, we’re tired of telling you this 100 times,” Memon said, stressing that the federal government had not followed the correct procedural route.

“If you have authentication documents, you need to be able to bring the made minutes at the meeting,” he added.

The Green Pakistan initiative, with an estimated cost of $ 3.3 billion, aims to construct six channels to irritate 1.2 million acres dry soil in southern Punjab. However, the project has met with growing resistance – first from Sindhi nationalist groups and now from the PPP itself.

Five of the canals are planned by the river Indus, while the sixth will be built along the Sutlej River, which is intended to supply about 4,120 CUSSCS WATER to the Cholistan Desert in Punjab.
