Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Wednesday urged the federal government to complete the Diamer-Bhasha Dam at the earliest, describing the project as a national necessity.
“It [Diamer-Bhasha Dam] is not only Diamer people’s right, but also Pakistan’s need,” he said while addressing an election rally in Diamer.
Bilawal criticised India’s violation of Indus Waters Treaty, saying that the government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was using water as a tool of terrorism.
“No other project is more important than Diamer-Bhasha Dam,” he said, urging Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to show “Shehbaz speed” in the completion of the project at the earliest.
This is a developing story and is being updated with further details.
