HYDERABAD, Dec 26: The Sindhi Association of North America (Sana) has termed rejection of resolutions of three provincial assemblies by rulers against Kalabagh dam a clear negation of federation.

Speaking at a news conference at the press club here on Monday, Sana president Aziz Narejo said that during last five years, Sindh had witnessed water shortage ranging between 30 and 80 per cent.

“We have roots in Sindh and we cannot remain indifferent to a terrible predicament being faced by the people of Sindh”, Mr Narejo said.

He said democracy had been derailed in Pakistan and Doctrine of Necessity had superseded the Constitution of 1973.

He said constant interference by the centre in affairs of provinces had become a rule rather than an exception.

He said what Pakistan needed was an unfettered and uncontrolled democracy.

He said members of parliament and provincial assemblies should emulate Awami National Party and volunteer to quit their seats if any announcement about construction of Kalabagh dam was made.
