Rana Sanaullah declares that they will not take a single drop of water from Sindh.

Prime Minister’s Adviser on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah stated that they have no intention of stealing any water from Sindh, a day after delaying back-to-back calls with Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon to settle the dispute over canal construction on the Sindh river.

The leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Sanaullah, said in a private television program that the Sindh government was open to negotiations and that the issue had been brought to the attention of the premier. He also promised that PM Shehbaz Sharif will make a suitable decision on the matter.

He added that Bilawal Bhutto’s remarks during the public rally were made in a moment of rage. It is unnecessary to have a strong reaction to Bilawal’s remarks because many things are spoken in such impassioned speeches. Statements should remain within a certain boundary, and mutual respect must be maintained.

“The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) is ready for dialogue, and the PM will define the procedure,” he added.

Commenting on the difficulties faced by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders and former premier Imran Khan’s family in meeting the former in jail, the adviser said that the PTI should work on improving its own affairs and cooperate with prison staff, adding when they go to jail, they create an unbearable atmosphere.

Why do others go along when only those whose names are on the approved list should be allowed to visit?

He emphasised that both sides need to work on improving matters, saying the PTI founder should be allowed to meet his sisters.
