KARACHI: The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) on Friday announced that protest rallies would be taken out against the project of six new canals on the Indus River in all the district headquarters across Sindh on March 25 (Tuesday).

The announcement was made by PPP-Sindh President Nisar Ahmed Khuhro, along with Special Assistant to the CM Waqar Mehdi, at a press conference held on the premises of the Sindh Assembly.

He paid tributes to the political parties and people protesting against the construction of the new canals and supported their struggle.

He appealed to the people of the province to come together and join the struggle against those canals, adding that a single and united voice of Sindh would make an impact against the project.

The provincial PPP chief said he would also contact and meet all the political parties and nationalists so that the anti-Sindh project could be axed through a joint struggle.

He said the federal government had revived the memory of dictatorship by starting the construction of Cholistan Canal without the approval of any constitutional forum.
