Blame game: Dasti ready to ‘offer services as prime minister’

MULTAN: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) MNA Jamshed Dasti offered himself to be the next prime minister on Sunday while censuring the judiciary for ‘unconstitutional’ decisions.
“I am ready to offer my services as the next prime minister if the party leadership proposes, which might happen soon owing to the judiciary’s unconstitutional decisions,” said Dasti while addressing media representatives at the Multan Press Club.
Elaborating on various parties’ orientation, he said that the coming elections will reveal that that Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML- N) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) are “passengers on the same boat”, adding that the chief justice should stop PML-N from becoming a dictatorial party in Punjab, if he is a part of an unbiased judiciary.
“The hypocrisy of PML-N has become evident when it opposed the creation of a south Punjab province, and is now engineering a delay in selecting commission members for the new province,” adding that 25 days had passed since the commission was constituted, but no names had been given yet.
Dasti said that the coming elections will be completely transparent, and no party will be allowed to become the “Don” of Pakistan.
Talking about where he would contest the upcoming elections, he said that he will contest from the NA-177 against Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar.
“This is not my decision but the voice of the people. Since the last four years, Khar has visited her constituency only four times and people from her constituency approach me for their affairs,” Dasti added.

Is this gentleman not the same who had a fraudulent BA certificate? And was subsequently dismissed from the Assembly? And is now offering his services as a would-be Prime Minister of Pakistan?
Wow! Hail to the PPP! And he is still in the Senate representing “people” of Pakistan. May be, he should become a Prime Minister. That way, when he is disqualified, at least he will not be “re-elected”. You go, Mr. Dasti. If I can vote, you have it — but only if you will be disqualified!

Dear Dasti Sahab!
How shameless is it that despite your fake academic credentials, hoodwinked the innocent
and illiterate voters, and came back again. You’re a typical Peopolian.

Isn’t this the same guy who submitted fake degrees to get into parliament. Now he offers his services to be the PM. What a joke has PPP made of this country and its ‘democracy’.
Recommend
And Jamshed Dasti calls it ‘judiciary”s unconstitutional decisions’. Wow. So the judiciary is bad now, just because it wants a letter written to swiss authorities that’ll lead to returning billions of dollars of Pakistanis – that were stolen and moved to swiss banks.
Recommend
Dasti thanks for the offer to be the next PM buddy. Obviously its for such a noble cause, saving your Boss’s (Zardari’s) corruption money. If you really feel for this country please do us a huge favor and quit politics. Why are we even talking about new provinces? Talk about the core issues poverty, electricity, gas etc etc. And the reality is your government has failed miserably to tackle those issues. Time to give PTI a chance !!!!
