ISLAMABAD, Dec 14: The Pakistan People’s Party has rejected the assurance of constitutional guarantees offered by President Gen Pervez Musharraf to allay the misgivings of the people of Sindh about the construction of Kalabagh Dam.

In a statement here on Wednesday, leader of the opposition in the Senate Mian Raza Rabbani said it was hard to accept what he said the so-called assurances of constitutional niceties from a person who had trampled the Constitution and also got away with it.

“The PPP does not recognize the political and technical committees set up by the regime to report on the feasibility of the dam building, as they have no locus in the Constitution and their reports have no meaning whatsoever.”

It is a matter of record that three provincial assemblies have passed unanimous resolutions against the building of the dam, he added.
