Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani had announced a package of Rupees 2 billion for Sindh, whereas members of Sindh assembly demanded to stop the construction of power plant on Chashma Jehlum Link Canal.

PM had reached Karachi on a short visit yesterday. He met the leaders, office-bearers and senior workers of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) from Sindh at the Chief Minister House on Sunday.

Workers of Pakistan Peoples Party and members of assembly opposed the construction of power plant on Chashma Jehlum Link Canal saying that it would create a shortage of water in Sindh and leave their green land barren.

PM in his address said that a bunch of people wanted to create a misunderstanding in the party. The Prime Minister assured that the problems would be looked into and steps would be taken for their resolution.
