The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has officially distanced itself from the recent statement made by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur regarding the construction of the Kalabagh Dam.

📍 Key Points

Gandapur had earlier voiced support for the creation of new provinces and the Kalabagh Dam, calling it necessary for national progress.
PTI leadership, however, clarified that these were the CM’s personal views, not the official party stance.
The party emphasized that any dam project must be built only after consensus among all provinces.

⚖️ Political Sensitivity

The Kalabagh Dam project has remained one of the most divisive issues in Pakistan’s politics.
Provinces like Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have historically opposed it, citing risks of water scarcity and flooding.
Punjab has been the main proponent, calling it essential for water storage and power generation.

🛑 PTI’s Clarification

PTI reiterated that it supports water resource management projects, but only through national consensus and provincial harmony.
The party does not want to deepen divisions on an issue that has already sparked decades-long disputes.
