karachi: The Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) and other opposition parties in Sindh have rejected the proposed amendments to the Indus River System Authority (Irsa) Act, and demanded the resignation of President Asif Ali Zardari.

They said that the amendments to the Irsa Act are completely unconstitutional and illegal, describing them as a deep conspiracy to once again turn Sindh barren. They declared that they would not allow these amendments to be implemented under any circumstances.

The opposition parties announced holding demonstrations across the province on September 19 to protest against anti-Sindh decisions made at the Presidential House, urging the public to fully participate in the protest drive. This announcement was made during a joint press conference by GDA Sindh General Secretary Dr Safdar Abbasi, Sardar Abdul Rahim, Liaquat Ali Jatoi, Syed Zain Shah, Masroor Jatoi, Riaz Chandio, Ali Palh Advocate, Rizwan Khanzada, Muhammad Hussain Mehnati and other leaders on Tuesday. Dr Abbasi said the amendments would destroy the Indus River system.
