Former Indus Water commissioner Jamat Ali Shah has issued a statement strongly denying allegations in the media about his facilitating and helping India in the Nimmo Bazgo and Chuttack hydropower projects and said that the stories were “provocative”.
He added that the allegations were absolutely wrong and appeared to be motivated at the behest of people harbouring a personal enmity with him, or sources that wanted to destroy institutions within Pakistan. Shah said that the Pakistan Indus Water Commission (PIWC) worked hard to fulfil its responsibilities, but such stories were disgraceful, demoralising and disrespectful to the institutions. He said that reporters had forgotten that PIWC worked in accordance with the Indus Waters Treaty, but they had unnecessarily dragged Pakistan’s intelligence agencies in their reports.
