Sindh Local Government Minister Saeed Ghani has alleged that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is receiving backing from foreign entities opposed to Pakistan’s progress. Speaking alongside Sindh Energy Minister Syed Nasir Hussain Shah at the inauguration of the three-day 8th Pak Water & Energy Expo-2024 in Karachi, Ghani criticized PTI’s foreign funding, calling it a glaring issue ignored by the judiciary. He said, “Anti-Pakistan forces continue to support PTI,” referring to the party’s ongoing foreign funding case.
He also voiced concerns about proposed canals on the Indus River, stating Sindh strongly opposes these projects and will raise its case before the Council of Common Interests (CCI). Ghani emphasized that the approval of six new canals on the Indus River is conditional. “Sindh will firmly present its objections at the constitutional forum.
No one should assume the proposal has been finalized,” he stated, reiterating the province’s grievances regarding water resource management. Sindh Energy Minister Nasir Hussain Shah accused PTI of harboring anarchists within its ranks, blaming them for derailing the party’s peaceful politics. He dismissed rumors about protest casualties in Islamabad as part of a conspiracy and claimed that many demonstrators, including foreigners, were present at the sit-in from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
“Anarchy-based politics must end,” Shah remarked, stressing the need to prioritize economic revival for Pakistan’s progress. Both ministers lauded the Pak Water & Energy Expo for its consistent success over the past eight years. They praised the exhibition for promoting innovative technologies aimed at conserving and renewing water and energy resources.
“This event not only showcases cutting-edge solutions but also provides practical benefits for households seeking energy and water efficiency,” the ministers noted, acknowledging the Expo’s role in advancing sustainable practices. The three-day event highlighted the importance of adopting modern techniques to address Pakistan’s growing water and energy challenges, attracting stakeholders from across the country.
