Victory for anti- Kalabagh Dam Campaign

Labour Party Pakistan welcome shelving Kalabagh Dam project

Labour Party Pakistan welcomes the shelving of controversial Kalabagh Dam project by the government of Pakistan Peoples Party. Farooq Tariq spokesperson LPP said in a press statement. “The struggle against Kalabagh dam has won a decisive victory; it was never a project for people’s welfare. It was clear from the beginning that there is not enough water for construction of this mega dam which would put the lives of millions in danger,” he said.

“LPP had always been in the forefront to campaign against building this mega project particularly in Punjab where it was not a popular demand. Three out of four provinces had opposed the construction of this dam. This dam would have been like a white elephant on the economy if would have been built”

“Now Musharaf must be put on accountability why he insisted all the times to build this dam and wasted billions of Rupees in beginning this project. He must be charges for wasting billions on this project, LPP demanded.
