JAMSHORO: Warning against injustice to the metropolis, Federal Minister for Water Resources Faisal Vawda on Monday said he would take serious action, if Karachi was not given its due share of water by the Sindh government.
“I will not get blackmailed because of the 18th Amendment in the Constitution.
He asked Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah to address the water theft and distribution issues.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader said the Sindh government had failed to deliver.
Water worth billions of rupees was being stolen in the province, he said.
He said security personnel should be posted at water distribution canals within two weeks.
He said he would refer a case to the National Accountability Bureau about corruption in dam.
He said he would not let the Sindh government waste Rs11 billion for the sake of Rs1.25 billion.
“Generally, poor get stuck in corruption and affluent persons get off scot-free, but I will not let it happen again even if it is Nawaz Sharif,” he said adding that the prime minister had given him free-hand against corrupt elements.
