ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar has said the government will resolve objections raised by coalition partners regarding the canal projects and a committee has been formed on the Prime Minister’s directives to look into the matter.
In a statement, Dar acknowledged that a misunderstanding sometimes arises and need to be resolved. He emphasized unity among the coalition partners and noted his close ties with the PPP.
