The minister emphasised equal water distribution in the country and compliance with the constitution.

He noted that a shrinking political party is urging the public to follow them.

He acknowledged that water scarcity is a significant issue affecting both Sindh and Punjab.

Moreover, he assured that the public still has access to drinking water following water shortages in the city.
