Time and again resolutions passed by three provincial assemblies of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Sindh and Baluchistan against KBD are referred to while opposing construction of this project, so essential and important for prosperity of all provinces of Pakistan. Reality of these resolutions is as under. 1) KP Assembly: During 2008-2013 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was governed by ANP, which is openly against Kalabagh Dam as an important point of its political jargon. In election of 2008 ANP obtained 5.78 lac out of 34 lac votes poled in KP while combined votes for PMLN and PMLQ were 7.13 lac. Assembly seats bagged by ANP were 48 as against 15 seats of both Leagues combined, thereby meaning more seats to form provincial government with less votes obtained - merely 5.3% of 10.96 million registered voters. Thus ANP easily passed a resolution in KP assembly against KBD in line with its manifesto. Even if for argument sake it is assumed that entire assembly passed this resolution unanimously, with 34 lac votes polled for all parties in 2008 election, it can only be termed as representative of 31% of registered voters in KP. Thus the much-hyped resolution in no way can be termed as voice of entire population of KP. 2) Sindh Assembly: Main catalyst behind assembly resolution is a fear that Sindh province will turn into a desert with construction of a storage dam at Kalagagh, a misconception to be deliberated upon later. However the ruling coalition favouring this resolution did not represent more than 51% of total voters. None of their resolutions against KBD can either be termed as voice of people of entire province of Sindh. 3) Baluchistan Assembly: Having none of its own direct grievances, Baluchistan Assembly passed resolution against KBD merely on the basis that provincial assemblies of KP and Sind were against KBD. Fact of the matter is that reservations of ANP and most parties in Sindh against KBD are not based on truthful reasons and ground realities but are mainly due to petty prejudices, unfound apprehensions and vested interests. These resolutions are not in line with wishes of majority of the constituents, at least of KP who predominantly are not anti-KBD knowing very well that it will benefit their province by irrigating 800,000 acres of barren land of D.I.Khan, Bannu and Tank not irrigable with Chashma Right Bank Canal. Uplift irrigation scheme for this area is neither technically viable nor economically sustainable. This opportunity for KP is not otherwise possible from Diamer-Bhasha Dam (DBD) or any other storage upstream of Tarbela Dam. Opposition by ANP and others to KBD amounts to negating poor people of these areas from their only chance to prosper, which they have been deprived of for more than 20 years. With irrigation from a high-level right bank canal from Kalabagh Dam, KP being a food deficient province can boost its agriculture produce to reduce its dependence on others. Besides this, KP can also gain from Hydel Profit generated by the project in proportion to the area affected there under through a realistic modification in Article 161(2) of constitution of Pakistan. Benefits to KP from KBD are quantified above. Punjab, Sindh and Baluchistan will also benefit from additional supply of water for irrigation when desperately required, the same way as they would from Diamer Bhasha Dam (DBD).
