Pakistan, April 30 -- Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on Tuesday strongly opposed the federal government's earlier proposals for new canal construction, stating that the related project documents had been thrown into the trash.

He made these remarks upon arriving in Karachi from Islamabad while addressing party workers.

The chief minister said that no new canal would be built until mutual agreement among all provinces is reached. "These canals only existed on paper," he said, "and those papers have been discarded into the wastebasket."

He also criticised those campaigning against the canal plans, suggesting that such elements were engaged in propaganda not just against the projects but even against the President of Pakistan.
