As the conflict between the federal and Sindh governments over the contentious canal project continues, Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari launched a new assault on the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), accusing it of politicizing the canal issue and misleading the public.
Bukhari asked why the PPP wasn’t worried about the province’s farmers while claiming that “hateful speeches” were being made about the canal issue on News’ “Pakistan” show.
After 16 years in power, she claimed the party led by Bilawal Bhutto and Zardari has to “deliver now” in Sindh. She cautioned that “negotiations don’t happen through threats” and that “the PPP will have to answer if they continue to distort facts.”
