THATTA (Lord Media): Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah stated that the division of Sindh is neither legally nor consciously possible. Speaking to the media in Thatta, he clarified that while there is no objection to other provinces creating new provinces, Punjab can create new provinces if it desires.

The Chief Minister emphasized that constitutionally, changes to a province’s boundaries cannot occur without the people’s consent. He added that the constitution provides for a referendum process, applicable only in cases where ambiguity exists.

Regarding water distribution, he mentioned that under the 1991 agreement, Sindh’s issue is present in the Council of Common Interests. He questioned how water theft could occur if water does not reach Sindh, highlighting the severe water shortage in the province, which has been raised with the federal government.
