Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah has said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif should have taken the parliamentary leaders of different political parties into confidence before proceeding on his US visit. Talking to media persons here, he hoped that Nawaz Sharif would discuss Afghanistan and India issues with the US President and officials. Shah said that some federal ministers were creating an awkward situation for Nawaz Sharif by reviving the dead issue of Kalabagh Dam.
The leader of the opposition said that the people of three provinces had rejected the project and the assemblies passed resolutions against its construction. He urged the prime minister to take notice of the propaganda over Kalabagh Dam. Shah said that he had not yet contacted Dr Asim Hussain.
