Sindh’s senior minister Sharjeel Memon on Monday said that the prime minister has summoned a session of the Council of Common Interest (CCI) session today on the request of the Sindh government.
The CCI session on the issue of the contentious canals project on Indus was scheduled on May 02 but the session of the federal body ” has been summoned today on the request of the government of Sindh,” Sharjeel Inam Memon said.
It is to be mentioned here that protest sit-ins have been staged across Sindh at various points on highways, including main protest camp at Babarloi in Khairpur led by lawyers’ leaders, against contentious canals from the Indus River- the main artery of life-giving water to Sindh.
The protests have been continued, and protest leaders have refused to accept the government’s announcement that the canals’ matter has been settled and will formally be decided in the CCI session.
