Time not ripe for KBD: JUI

Published January 1, 2006

SIALKOT, Dec 31: Although the country needs water reservoirs, the time selected for the announcement of building Kalabagh dam is not suitable as the country is faced with several other burning issues which are required to be addressed on priority.

This was stated by Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (JUI) Amir and Senator Maulana Samiul Haq while talking to reporters at Daska on Saturday.

He said that some anti-state elements had made this issue as disputed adding that the government should take the nation into confidence before giving a final verdict on Kalabagh dam. — Correspondent
