Water Resources Minister Khursheed Shah has appealed the international community to waive off Pakistan’s debts in light of the recent flood devastation.
Speaking exclusively to Jee News, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader said he would also urge concerned authorities to speak to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in this regard as well.
It is pertinent to note that the recent floods destroyed at least three million homes and 70% of agricultural fields.
Commenting on the flood affectees, Shah maintained that the government cannot rebuild millions of homes.
“We are providing 25,000 rupees to 1.9 million families,” he added.
The Minister of Water Resources said the Kalabagh dam is controversial, so other dams will be completed on priority.
Regarding the contempt of court case, Shah said Imran is afraid that he will be caught, and this is why he is hurling threats.
“If the courts are afraid, tomorrow everyone will go with a crowd to pressurize them into taking a decision.”
Shah revealed that he has invited PTI for talks and is ready to talk to anyone in the interest of the country.
“Imran Khan himself has announced the date of the upcoming general elections,” he said. “The PTI chief said the general elections will not be held a day before August 13, 2023.”
