He was talking to the office-bearers of Hyderabad, Sukkur and Larkana Press Clubs on Friday here at the CM House. While commenting on the recently-concluded Pak-India talks, Zardari said the talks failed due to India’s internal political problems. However, he added that Pakistan was hopeful of resumption of a meaningful dialogue with India.
He said that the glacier at Siachen was melting and because of this, India would suffer heavy losses, and high military expenditures on that front were a burden on both Pakistan and India. He said Pakistan wanted to continue the dialogue process with India and he was hopeful that the water issue with the neighbour will be resolved amicably and with mutual understanding.
The president said that the Establishment was not involved in the murder of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, adding that it was the Taliban factor that was involved in her assassination. The United Nationsí commission, constituted to probe the murder of the PPP chairperson, released its report in a very short period, he said.
He said Osama Bin Laden was provided money to remove the first Benazir Bhutto government. Zardari said the PPP saved Pakistan after the murder of its chairperson and raised slogans like ëPakistan Khappayí.
The president said that there was no need for a confrontation on water because ìwater is the need of all the four provincesî and urged the provinces to take steps to harness water. He said the people did not accept the nationalist forces and added that being a national party, the PPP had the responsibility to protect the rights of the people of the whole country.
He said the government was trying to introduce the Chinese irrigation system for better utilisation of water and increase the agriculture production. He said the government was taking steps to overcome the power crisis, which the previous regime had totally ignoredand which was the main cause of the shortfall of electricity.
