KARACHI, Dec 12: Opposition leader in Sindh Assembly and the PPP leader, Nisar Ahmed Khuhro, said on Monday that the people of Sindh should be prepared for launching a more forceful movement than the historical Movement for Restoration of Democracy in 1983.

Nisar Khuhro, who is currently in Dubai, said, “It is inevitable in the greater interest of the country to scrap the disputed project of Kalabagh dam. However, the rulers are adamant to carry on with the Kalabagh dam that has exposed their intentions of creating wide gulf between the people of federating units just to prolong their undemocratic rule,” he contended.

He said that he had convened an emergent meeting of PPP parliamentary party on Dec 14 at 5pm to discuss the situation and prepare for moving a resolution against the Kalabagh dam in Sindh assembly session scheduled on Dec 15.

He said that the recent utterances of Gen Musharraf on Kalabagh dam, amply testified the fact that he was trying to playing the role of former soviet president Gorbachev that would ultimately harm the very foundation of the country.

Nisar Khuhro called upon the members of Sindh cabinet that instead of dancing at the tune played by President Musharraf, they should resign from their offices if they were really sincere to the cause of this province or otherwise they would always be remembered as the ‘traitors of Sindh’ in the history. —PPI
