KARACHI:

Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has categorically stated that the PPP will never make a compromise on Sindh's interests and will never let the controversial canals be built at any cost.

In a statement, Sharjeel Inam Memon further stated that the PPP remains steadfast to protect the water rights of the province and will never allow any step that undermines its resources, as envisioned by the Sindh people. He stressed that the PPP has always maintained a clear stance on water-related issues and will not yield to any pressure or political expediency in this regard.

Sharjeel stated that President Asif Ali Zardari, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah, and the Sindh government have delivered a clear message that the construction of any illegal canal would not be tolerated. He added that the Sindh Assembly has also passed a resolution on this matter, reflecting the aspirations of the people.

The senior minister further stated that water is a fundamental right of the people of Sindh, and no attempt to deprive the province of its share will be allowed to succeed. "The PPP has always stood for truth and justice and will continue to do so in the future," he added.

Sharjeel urged the federal government and relevant institutions to uphold Sindh's water rights and refrain from any scheme or project that would deprive the province's people of their rightful share.
