Addressing to People’s Party workers at Karachi airport, Chief Minister Shah said that no canal can be built without the mutual agreement of the provinces. “Chairman PPP didn’t step back over the issue”.
“President Zardari was ailing, still, he asked about the matter,” the chief minister said.
Murad Ali Shah was speaking in the context of the contentious canal project on the Indus River, widely opposed by the people of Sindh with sit-ins and other forms of protest across the province, causing a headache to the government.
The project was taken back by a decision of the Council of Common Interest (CCI) in a meeting on Monday.
“A drop of water, if taken from the Indus River, we will deem it a declaration of war,” he said. “India knows well our stance on the river water,” he further said.
“We will not be scared of hollow threats about the Indus Water Treaty,” Sindh CM said while commenting on the Indian announcement of suspending the river water treaty with Pakistan after the Pehalgam incident in Indian occupied Kashmir.
