ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Thursday submitted a resolution to the National Assembly Secretariat, expressing strong reservations over the construction of canals from the Indus River under the Green Pakistan Initiative (GPI).
The resolution, led by Leader of the Opposition Omar Ayub Khan and signed by parliamentary leader Zartaj Gul, Ali Muhammad Khan, Mujahid Khan, and other party members, urged an immediate halt to the Cholistan canals project until constitutional provisions were fulfilled and Sindh’s concerns are addressed.
The document, titled “Resolution on Addressing Sindh’s Reservations Regarding the Green Pakistan Initiative of Constructing Canals on the Indus River”, calls on the federal government to convene an emergency meeting of the Council of Common Interests (CCI) within 15 days.
The meeting, it says, should discuss the province of Sindh’s objections and ensure input from all stakeholders.
