KARACHI - No planning was done for construction of Kalabagh Dam during the governments of Zufikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto. This was stated in a joint statement of PPP MPAs here on Saturday.
They said that those who were making wrong propaganda in the name of martyrs, they were trying to give cover to their own sins. Bhuttos laid down their lives for the nation and the country and always struggled against dictatorship. Provincial Assembly Members added that Benazir Bhutto Shaheed gave historic sit-in at Kamoo Shaheed district Ghotki against construction of Kala Bagh Dam and whole country witnessed it. Pakistan Peoples Party would defeat PML (N) and PML (F) in next elections and this defeat would he historic to them.
They said, ‘In past some certain parties took out rallies in favour of Kala Bagh dam in Sanghar. They enjoyed the power corridor in regimes of Zia-ul-Haq and Musharrafs dictatorship and these parties supported Musharraf on his unconstitutional measures’.
They said that in past these parties formed IJI and that time they received money and got fake mandate. The people of Sindh knew these pro-dictatorship parties and as the elections were drawing near, these parties were making hue and crying for nothing.
