Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah said that the federal government is functioning smoothly with the support of Pakistan People’s Party.
He assured that as long as the PPP exists, the canal would not be built. He lamented that some political parties, instead of opposing the canal, have taken to the streets to protest against the PPP.
