Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s rally in Larkana has drawn criticism from his political rivals as Awami National Party (ANP) leader, Senator Zahid Khan on Friday advised him to seek an opinion of masses in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa over the construction of controversial Kalabagh dam.

Khan, during his party’s rally in Larkana earlier today, promised thousands of supporters that the PTI will not allow the construction of the dam without the consent of the people of Sindh.

The construction of the Kalabagh dam has long been a heated debate in Pakistan, where politicians and pressure groups argue over the provinces' fair share of water from the river Indus to support local agricultural needs.

In a statement issued soon after the conclusion of PTI’s rally, Zahid Khan said that besides seeking people’s views regarding the dam in Sindh, Imran Khan should also ask the masses in the province, where his party rules.

Meanwhile, former law minister in Punjab Rana Sanaullah of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) said that the PTI chief was scared about completion of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s economic agenda.

“Nawaz Sharif is getting on his [Imran Khan] nerves,” he said in a statement issued in Lahore. Sanaullah said that Khan was not sincere in changing the country’s system but only wanted to fulfill his desire of coming into power.

He said that Imran Khan’s politics starts and finishes at holding rallies and protest demonstrations. “How can one who enjoys luxuries of living in a castle worth billions of rupees, question others?”
