Shazia Marri did prove right in the end. Our National Assembly has seemingly lost interest in discussing water-related issues in a comprehensive manner. Instead of focusing on the larger picture, a definite mindset, primarily representing Punjab, manages to steer the discussion around an oft repeated but yet to be resolved question of building a dam at Kalabagh.Belum Hasnain had no intention of debating the idea of building the dam anyway.
