KARACHI:
There was a ruckus in Sindh Assembly on Monday as the house took up water shortage in Sindh. Lawmakers discarded the agenda after Sindh Irrigation Minister Sohail Anwar Siyal moved a resolution condemning the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-led federal government and the Indus River System Authority (IRSA) for violating the Water Apportionment Accord of 1991 and cutting down Sindh’s share. The resolution demanded Sindh’s due water share.
The accusation prompted an uproar by the PTI lawmakers but the resolution found support from other opposition members, including those of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan and the Grand Democratic Alliance, and was passed. A former PTI lawmaker also spoke in favour of the resolution much to the other party lawmakers’ chagrin.
