Moonis Elahi says PMLN Must Let Go of its EGO and Build Kalabagh Dam

The BBC reported on Thursday India is speeding up its efforts to maximize its use of the western rivers of the Indus basin. It would involve building huge storage facilities and canals over the rivers as Modi plans to dry out Pakistan. However the channel reported the move would not violate the Indus Water Treaty through which the water of the rivers must enter Pakistan. Moonis Elahi has insisted time and again to build the Kalabagh Dam. As most of the paper work is already complete and even the land had been purchased by the PMLQ government, it can be completed within 3 years.

PMLN's vindictive policy is harming Pakistan more than ever. Every government strives to strengthen its country but unfortunately the ruling party is set to destroy the country through their egoistic nature said Moonis Elahi. It is time to be united against the problems faced by the country and decline in water is a serious threat to our survival. We need water to run cities and to irrigate our agricultural lands, without enough water Pakistan would run dry. The drought in Tharparkar has already consumed hundreds of innocent lives of not only humans but the animals as well. if war footing steps aren't taken now, the situation will only worsen and the entire country will be Tharparkar.

India will use the water flowing into Pakistan through Indus, Chenab and Jehlum rivers to pressurize over the Kashmir issue. If we already have built an alternative, the neighbor will fail badly in its scheme. Moonis Elahi has been raising his voice over the water issue on his social media accounts. The response to his tweets and posts indicate that Pakistanis are also in the favor of this dam but many controversies have created hurdles in its completion. PMLN must house a meeting and seriously address the issue with all stakeholders. There should be no grudges and all political parties must participate in it.

We must be united for the cause of Pakistan's survival and sustainability. It is a must to think of "Sab se Pehlay Pakistan" seriously rather than just make it a political slogan said Moonis Elahi. If there is no Pakistan, there would be no Pakistani politics and there would be no future for any one of us. It is an undeniable fact that water is the source of life and without it we would all be in deep trouble. The shortfall of rains and drying up of our canals has created many ecological problems. We must create dams to store water and use it wisely.

Moonis Elahi - Why KBD is For The Entire Pakistan

Ever wondered why we have such long hours of load shedding during the summer? We all know that Pakistan has no shortage of natural resources but it only lacks proper usage of the natural resources. Punjab, as the very name describes, five rivers which flow through the province has given it the name which is recognized all over the world. The province can prove to be host to eradication of load shedding from the entire country if the Kalabagh Dam is constructed. Moonis Elahi has once again highlighted the benefits our country can reap if the KBD ever becomes a reality.

Currently Moonis Elahi is the only politician vouching for the construction of Kalabagh Dam while the present PMLN Govt seems more interested in Bhasha Dam. It would not hurt if both dams are constructed but with the facts put forth by the young PMLQ politician, it certainly is lucrative and definitely aimed to benefit the entire country rather than just one region. Pakistan currently faces a lot of shortages and the issue of water shortage has started to surface now more than often. The Pakistan - India water treaty is one of the longest standing treaties between the two countries but lately the latter seems to find it amusing to revoke it.

While the Bhasha Dam, a project of the PMLN Govt aims to produce 4500 Megawatts of electricity, it is a very expensive project and can be a victim to shortage of budget in the middle of the project. The government would have to further apply for loans for its completion which means that the poor Pakistani will be pressed under more debt. We can only hope it doesn't meet the same fate as that of Nandipur. While the nation is confused whether the Bhasha Dam or Kalabagh Dam would be the most suitable solution for the nation, it has become more of a tug of war game where Moonis Elahi supporters favor KBD but PMLN supporters vote for Bhasha Dam.

Moonis Elahi, in most of his speeches has always urged his followers and the people of Pakistan to not think narrowly and support a cause because it is launched by their favorite leader. He has always said we must think as a nation and only support the cause for the sake of the nation. Unless we weed out the favoritism mentality Pakistan will still suffer and due to its suffering we as a nation will all suffer. It is time that Pakistani's study the facts and press the government to build dam which will be the dam for all Pakistanis.

Moonis Elahi Calls For Efforts To Build Kalabagh Dam

As India speeds up its drive to create problems for Pakistan, it has declared to revoke the Indus water treaty. This act would cause shortage of water within Pakistan hence forcing it to the brink of drought. Pakistan has taken up the case to World Bank to stop India from constructing illegal dams on the Neelum and Chenab rivers.

Kalabagh Dam is a proposed hydroelectric dam to be built on the river Indus at Kalabagh in the Mianwali district of Punjab province. it is debated that if the dam would be constructed it can produce 3600 megawatts of electricity approximately. as time passes on the water shortfall threat from India increases and Moonis Elahi urges Pakistani Politicians to get serious on the matter of KBD and start its construction for the larger interest of Pakistan.

Moonis Elahi Says Kalabagh Dam Made Controversial by India

India stoops to all time low by threatening to abrogate water treaty. An agreement signed in 1960 between the two countries by then elected leaders was an agreement that both the countries would not engage in water wars. Revoking it would cause a sever water shortage in Pakistan which could lead to its destruction.

Moonis Elahi has pressed upon the building of Kalabagh Damtime and again. It has been made controversial by Indian funded agents in Pakistan to stop Pakistan from having a dam that does not rely on Indian waters. The main points to keep in mind are:

• Indian funded agents have made Kalabagh Dam controversial so that Pakistan does not store water enough and one day will become completely barren.
• While Indian agents have managed to make Kalabagh Dam controversial, it the mean time it has constructed Kishan Ganga Dam, Bagliar Dam, Salal Dam, Uri Dam and many more on the very rivers that flow into Pakistan.
• To date India keeps terrorizing through its water treaty and it is one of the factors for its terror in Kashmir.
