Dera Murad Jamali, Dec 24: Former prime minister Zafarullah Khan Jamali on Saturday said that the construction of Kalabagh dam was in the interest of the national economy and the issue should not be politicized. Talking to a TV channel, Mr Jamali said he would support every step which would be in favour of Pakistan. The country, he emphasized, needed water reservoirs, including the Kalabagh dam.
In reply to a question, he said consensus on Kalabagh dam was required as the issue was being politicized.
“We are supporting the construction of Kalabagh dam since 1985 in order to cope with up water shortage in the country,” he added.—PPI
