Eng Barkat Ali Luna has published a book with the title “A Gold Mine for Pakistan” which gives full justification for KBD but who listens to Engineers when a former PM declared that KBD was made a victim of politics? It is the political masters who could decide for KBD but the political masters have admitted their failure. Now it is up to the PM Nawaz Sharif to hold the bull of KBD by its horns to decide the case in a marathon meeting at Islamabad calling all recalcitrant from provinces to decide once for all the vital project of KBD which has been simmering for decades. The history would record that our politicians lacked the sense to decide
KBD imbroglio which would destroy Pakistan due to bickering of politicians.

A marathon session will end only in a stalemate. What is required is to counter the apprehensions of the opponents with facts and figures through a campaign by the experts with the cooperation of the media, for example, the fear expressed is that dams reduce flow in the river, the fact is that Mangla and Tarbela dams increased withdrawal in the canals in Sindh from 35.6 maf to 44.5 maf, a 25% increase of 8.9 maf with which Sindh was able to cultivate an additional 20 lakh acres, It is only when the reality is splashed in the newspapers repeatedly that public opinion will get modified.
