PPP announces protests across Sindh over water issue
KARACHI (Dunya News) - The leadership of Sindh’s ruling party PPP has announced protests across the province over the water issue. The decision was taken at a meeting of the party’s provincial executive committee.
According to details, a meeting of PPP Sindh Executive committee was held under the chairmanship of Nisar Khuhro in which Manzoor Wassan, Waqar Mehdi, Aajiz Dhamrah, Aijaz Jakhrani and others participated.
Expressing concern over severe water shortage and prolonged power outages in Sindh, the meeting said that they would not remain silent on the Federal government’s actions against Sindh. The PPP leaders discussed a strategy for holding protests across the province against water shortages and load shedding.
The leaders said that the water crisis in Sindh was hurting the agriculture sector. “There is a 40% water shortage in Sindh but instead of rectifying the situation, Irsa is playing the role of the government’s B team”, they said, adding that Sindh’s water is being stolen by installing pumps from Taunsa to Guddu Barrage.
