PPP opposes Indus canal project for Sindh's water rights

The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) has strongly opposed the federal government's plan to build six canals on the Indus River, calling it unacceptable for Sindh. Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari emphasized the need to respect Sindh's water rights under the 1991 accord. During a meeting, the PPP's Sindh Council passed resolutions rejecting the canal project and demanding the federal government abandon it. They also called for a meeting to address Sindh's water concerns and ensure fair distribution according to the 1991 Water Accord. The council plans a large gathering on April 4 to honor former Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. They highlighted the importance of monitoring water flows and warned that denying Sindh its water share could threaten agriculture and food security.
