Thatha : March 13 , 2024 : Pakistan Peoples Party leader Senator Sassi Paleju called the appointment of IRSA chairman as a contradictory decision
She said on Wednesday in a statement that Zafar Mahmood has been a supporter of Kalabagh and other controversial water distributions, which have always been rejected by Sindh and smaller provinces. Sassi Palejo
It is not appropriate to appoint a controversial person like Zafar Mahmood as IRSA Chairman. Sassi Palejo
Senior leader of People’s Party Sindh Senator Sassi Palejo said that Zafar Mehmood did not even recognize the water agreement of 1991 and did not give importance to the matter of Sindh and Balochistan.
The appointment of this person will increase water problems and further water scarcity in Sindh
There have always been reservations regarding transparent distribution of water to Sindh and other provinces
If there is no water in Rabi and Kharif, millions of farmers will suffer from starvation.
The water situation in Kotri downstream is a picture of inequitable distribution.
To appoint a person in favor of opening the flood canal for the whole year to irrigate the gifted lands in the important position of Ursa Chairman will be an excess of small provinces.
Instead of appointing Zafar Mahmood, an impartial water expert should be appointed as the chairman of IRSA so that the fears of many conflicting decisions regarding IRSA will end and anxiety in the provinces can also end.
