HYDERABAD: Leader of the Opposition in Sindh Assembly Haleem Adil Sheikh has said that Sindh and all other provinces are getting their due share of water as per Water Accord 1991.
Rejecting claims that injustice was being committed in water distribution, he said the issue of water should not be politicised, arguing that “Sindh doesn’t share correct statistics” in this regard.
He was speaking at the ‘Dialogue on Water Issues, Shortage in Sindh’ at the local press club, organised by the Sindh Agriculture Research Council (SARC) on Friday.
