Govt’s stance: Dasti expresses grievance

Dasti has reservations over the ‘prime minister’s personal bureaucracy who is answerable to no one’.

MULTAN: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) MNA Jamshed Dasti told The Express Tribune on Tuesday that he had reservations over the ‘prime minister’s personal bureaucracy who is answerable to no one’. Criticising the bureaucracy, Dasti complained that the executives mistreat members of the national and provincial assemblies and claim to have paid high commissions to avail their current positions. He said that the government had paid Rs1 billion to PML-N member Chaudhry Nisar as commission in order to control the decision to increase gas prices. He added that the PM had a strong relationship with PML-N leaders.
