On Thursday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif reaffirmed that no additional canals will be built until the Council of Common Interests (CCI) has reached an agreement.
Following a crucial meeting, he addressed a joint press conference with Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), in Islamabad. “The next CCI meeting, scheduled for Friday, May 2, will officially endorse the agreement reached between the PPP and PML-N on the matter,” he stated.
Senior PPP figures, like as Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, joined Bilawal. Street protests and political unrest were the backdrop for the meeting.
