ISLAMABAD: Many in the Senate learnt to their shock on Friday that the CPEC western route that the government said was getting top priority did not exist even in the Chinese record.
On the last day of the last session of the Senate?s parliamentary year with 52 of its members retiring, PkMAP parliamentary leader in the House Senator Usman Khan Kakar said during their visit to China they came to know that there was no record of the western route in the Chinese record.
He lauded Senator Taj Haider, the convener of the Special Committee on CPEC, for working tremendously on the matter and taking it up with the authorities.
He said the committee had presented five reports, whereas the Parliamentary Committee on CPEC, having representation from both houses of Parliament, could not present a report thereon.
Senator Taj Haider said while their visit was arranged by the China embassy, the committee members during the stay did their utmost to sensitise the hosts to the critical importance of western route.
He said they had distributed related documents among all and sundry, even Chinese, on roads.
Speaking on the occasion, he cautioned that it was being speculated that sugarcane growers might not cultivate the crop this year as they were not paid even the minimum support price fixed by the government. The committee in the report recommended to the federal and provincial governments to evolve a mechanism that could ensure a reasonable price to the growers and the notified price should be implemented by the cane commissioners and also by the respective provinces.Senator Muzaffar Shah also presented the final report of the Senate special committee on the performance of PIA.
