Senior leader of the Pakistan Peoples Party, Ms. Faryal Talpur, described the suspension of work on the canals and the call for a CCI meeting as a victory for national unity, constitutional supremacy, and the people of Sindh.
In a statement, Faryal Talpur said that today marks a victory for Pakistan’s federal unity, the supremacy of the Constitution, and the rights of farmers. She stated that the principled leadership of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and the peaceful protest of the people of Sindh have demonstrated that when the stance is just and the intention sincere, the government is compelled to heed the voice of the people.
She said that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s announcement to halt work on the new canals and the decision to convene a CCI meeting on May 2 is a prudent move. The Prime Minister’s position is a positive step toward strengthening democratic traditions, upholding provincial autonomy, and empowering constitutional institutions.
Faryal Talpur said that fair and transparent distribution of resources among all citizens is essential for the strength of the federal structure. She reiterated that they have always maintained there would be no compromise on Sindh’s right to water, and, Alhamdulillah, their stance has been acknowledged today.
She said that the Pakistan Peoples Party has consistently emphasized inter-provincial equality, equitable distribution of water, and decision-making within the constitutional framework. The PPP is a representative party of farmers, laborers, women, and marginalized communities, and it will always defend the rights of the people through constitutional means.
She expressed her gratitude to all political forces, civil society, and the people who stood with the Pakistan Peoples Party on this important national issue.
