PESHAWAR: Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) chief Aftab Sherpao has decried the pro-Kalabagh dam stance of the chairman of the Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda).
In a statement, he said the stance was politically motivated that was aimed at political point-scoring. He said it could be used as a political gimmick in the next general election. Aftab Sherpao contended that since the assemblies of three provinces had already passed resolutions against this controversial project, therefore, infusing new life in this dead horse would create disharmony among the federating units.
The QWP chief said the issue should **t be played up for political considerations. He said the country was in dire need of positive and constructive measures for the uplift of masses.Aftab Sherpao feared that Kalabagh dam was detrimental to interests of KP as it would submerge Peshawar valley by bringing total destruction. He said that all such efforts should be halted in the larger interests of the federation. The QWP chief asked the federal government to adopt meaningful and pragmatic measures for Bhasha dam, which was a feasible project to help resolve the energy crisis.
