‘K-P must not turn CPEC into another Kalabagh Dam’

"Don't they consider Hazara division as part of K-P? " says Chief of Tehreek Suba Hazara Party

ABBOTABAD: Chief of Tehreek Suba Hazara Party (TSHP),  Baba Sardar Haider Zaman,  has warned the provincial government against severe public reaction if they continued their opposition to the multi-billion
China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).



Addressing a press conference in Abbottabad on Tuesday, he said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-led provincial government has been constantly opposing the $46 billion project for the last several months claiming the argument that  the province was being deprived of the project’s benefits.

"Don't they consider Hazara division as part of K-P? If so they must accept its independent status as a separate province," he asked adding that opposition to CPEC had exposed the real face of PTI.



"But we will not allow them [K-P government] to succeed in their designs and protect the rights of Hazara at every cost," Zaman warned, adding that PTI was now trying to turn CPEC into another Kalabagh dam.
