Chairman Qaumi Watan Party, Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao had decried the pro-Kala Bagh Dam stance of Chairman WAPDA. He said in a statement here on Saturday that this stance was politically motivated which was aimed at political point scoring. He said that it could be used as a political apparatus and gimmick in the next election.
Sherpao contended that since the assemblies of three provinces had already passed resolutions against this controversial project therefore, infusing new lease of life in this dead horse would create towards disharmony among the federation and its units. Hence, he stressed the need that the issue should not be played up for political considerations because the country is in dire need of positive and constructive measures for the uplift of masses. QWP Chief apprehended that Kalabagh Dam was detrimental to interests of KP as it would submerge Peshawar valley by bringing total destruction.
