PPP threatens to quit federal coalition over canals dispute

HYDERABAD:

The Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has tacitly warned Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz that Pakistan Peoples Party will withdraw its support for the federal government the moment the PPP realised that its requests against construction of six canals are falling on deaf ears. "If the PPP sensed that they [N-league's government] aren't understanding our democratic stance, we will not waste a minute to leave the federal government," he said while addressing the party's workers in Thatta district on Saturday.

However, in the same breath he added that it is also an agenda of the opposition parties to see ouster of the federal government. "But if we take a decision in haste and let the government fall, what will happen? Who will come? Will elections take place? And can our country afford elections at this time?" he raised these questions.HYDERABAD:
