Views on Kalabagh Dam
He is considered as the most hardline supporter of Kalabagh Dam.[citation needed] He has indicated inter provinces prejudices as well as alleged foreign lobbies supporting anti-Kalabag dam movement in Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.[citation needed] He also argued that the worst floods in Noshera history in 1929 and 2010 flooded Noshera which denies the ANP fears of Noshera being flooded on construction of Kalabagh Dam.[citation needed]
