Senior Sindh Minister and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Sharjeel Inam Memon has strongly opposed canal projects on the Indus River, vowing to resist them until his last breath. He called for unity to strengthen Pakistan and urged citizens to set aside their differences during Eidul Fitr.
Firm Stance Against Canal Projects
Speaking at a press conference, Memon reaffirmed the PPP’s position against constructing canals on the Indus River. He urged Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to announce the cancellation of these projects on April 4. According to Memon, any attempt to divert Indus water threatens Sindh’s rights and will be met with strong resistance.
He stressed that Sindh’s people rely on the Indus for their survival. Any project affecting water distribution, he argued, would create severe hardships. He warned that the PPP would not compromise on this issue and would fight for Sindh’s fair share of water.
Condemnation of Terrorism
Memon condemned recent terrorist attacks in Pakistan, particularly those targeting civilians. He praised the sacrifices of military and security forces, emphasizing the need for a united effort to protect the nation. He urged all political forces to come together against terrorism rather than allowing divisions to weaken national security.

Allegations of Foreign Influence
Sharjeel Memon criticized those he claimed were influenced by external forces working against Pakistan. He accused certain individuals of promoting narratives that align with hostile intelligence agencies. He asserted that real dialogue could only happen with those who genuinely support the country’s interests.
Defense of Media Freedom
Memon reaffirmed the PPP’s commitment to press freedom. He stated that the party had always supported journalists and opposed any efforts to restrict media rights. He criticized the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA), arguing that such laws should not be used to suppress free speech or spread false information.
According to him, an independent press is essential for democracy, and any restrictions on journalists harm Pakistan’s progress. He vowed that the PPP would continue standing against unjust media regulations.
Call for Political Dialogue
Discussing national unity, Memon highlighted the need for political dialogue in Balochistan. He stressed that resolving conflicts through discussion is necessary, but he insisted that terrorists must be dealt with firmly. He called on all political stakeholders to work together for peace and stability in the country.
Commitment to Rights and Justice
Memon concluded by reiterating the PPP’s commitment to human rights, democracy, and media freedom. He assured that his party would not back down from these principles, regardless of opposition. He urged the government to take decisive action on critical national issues and ensure that justice prevails.
