<b>LAHORE : Pakistanâs Indus Water Commissioner Jamaat Ali Shah has said the government advised the commission to soften its stand on the water issue with India, saying a hard stance could damage efforts to promote trade with India,</b> Dawn News reported on Friday. Speaking at the University of Gujrat, Shah said <b>the governmentâs stance had weakened Pakistanâs position in talks with India.</b> He said India wanted to scrap the Indus Water Treaty and had always desired a stalemate in negotiations with Pakistan over water. <b>He said Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had assured President Asif Zardari of compensating losses because of decreased water flow in the Chenab River, but that commitment had not yet materialised.</b> <!--emo&:liar liar--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/liar.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='liar.gif' /><!--endemo-->
He called for digging a link-canal from Mangla Dam to the Marala headworks to minimise water wastage.
<b>My Comments :</b> Having realized that the Lotastaani Terroristaanis have "No Case" Jamaat Ali Shah - the Lying Git - makes the "Classic Statement of a Defeated Whimp"! <!--emo&
