Former President Pervez Musharraf has said that Taliban were present in Karachi and collecting funds from the metropolis. Talking to a private TV channel on Monday, Musharraf said that now sectarian issue has also surfaced in Karachi. On the issue of Kalabagh Dam, Musharraf said the Dam was in favour of Sindh more than any other province and must be constructed if we want to save Sindh from becoming desert again.

Musharraf said that water of monsoon rains could be stored in Kalabagh Dam alone as Tarbela Dam was losing its storage capacity. The former president claimed that all the cases against him were political. Musharraf said General Ahmed Shuja Pasha, former ISI chief, also suggested him to not come to Pakistan, adding that, he would be in the country at the time of general elections.
