Responding to a press conference by PPP leaders, he stated that Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz spoke only about her province\u2019s share of water, not that of any other province. \u201cIf Punjab\u2019s water is routed through any part of the province, there should be no objection,\u201d he added. He said that there are major objections to the current BISP data, and it should be revised after proper verification. Rana Sana noted that although the Pakistan People\u2019s Party (PPP) is not formally part of the government, it is supporting the [PML-N] government. Despite differences, both parties have agreed to maintain mutual respect and avoid the use of harsh language. He stated that both the PPP and the PML-N have their own policies, ideologies, and perspectives, and neither is bound to follow the other\u2019s policies. PPP leader Qamar Zaman Kaira, in a press conference in Lahore a day earlier, criticised Chief Minister Maryam over her \u201clanguage, tone, and choice of words\u201d and described them \u201cinappropriate\u201d. \u201cIf similar rhetoric starts coming from Sindh in response, what will happen then?\u201d he had questioned.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD(National times)- Prime Minister\u2019s advisor and Senator Rana Sanaullah has said that they have serious reservations about the data of the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP).
