A former federal minister and central leader of the PPP (Sherpao) Mian Muzaffar Shah has opposed its construction. Shah said that the PPP-S opposes construction of the controversial Kalabagh dam.
Talking to reporters here on Friday, he dispelled the impression that the party was favouring General Musharraf regarding construction of the dam.
He said the project aimed at ruining fertile agricultural lands of the Frontier province besides negatively affecting Sindh and Balochistan and question of supporting such an anti-people project couldn't arise, he added.
Muzaffar Shah said his party's opposition to the dam was manifested with participation of a large number of its workers, including himself, in the anti-dam rally at Jehangira on Thursday.
