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

i like this guy, he recalls me of Hamesh Reshamia :D
You are definitely next PM if you also promise Zardari not to write the letter to the Swiss authorities no matter what happens to you......... If a matriculated person can be appointed as the head of the key department of Pakistan by convicted ex-PM Gillani then why can't you become PM by the Zardari's/PPP's and allied political parties' leaders' appointment/will/desire???????
Democracy is Best Revenge & they are taking REVENGE.
Can someone please kill me b4 he becomes the prime minister.
This will be a great news for us, Dasti Sb.
President without a degree potential PM without a degree. Makes sense......
@Blithe: Who cares if some one accepts him or not?
Zardari will accept you only if you will be a yes-man, do you promise.and don't forget to consult that doctor of law, if you lack a degree. no sweat, he could help.
Zaradari saab let me introduce my friend (a gem) in case you need more prime ministers: he is muslim, young, BA fail, sound police record, from south punjab, can win any by-election with your blessings, currently serving as senior driver at Kohistan Bus Service on Faisalabad Multan route.
Welcome to Pakistan - where everything is possible and you never know he will be addressing you " Meray Hum Watano - - - - "
Regards Dr. Saleem Siddiqi
Another greedy politician.
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 !!!!
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.
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'.
jiyeeee bhuttooooooooo
Please get off your high horse, no one is asking you to become the PM. The first line "Dasti offered himself to be the next PM" made me laugh. I offer myself to be the next PM too...
This PPP Government has made a joke and mockery out of this country and its people! We'v becoming a laughing stock for the world!
ahhhhh ahahahhaahaahahhaha ahahahhahahahaahahah haahahhahaahahahah TRIBUNE are you SERIOUS??? i can't stop laughing. Tell Dasti to go to SCHOOL first. On a side note we as a nation might just be missing a PM like him.....
Jamshed Dasti as PM......................................LOL...well anyhing can happen in our "democracy".
Dasti as our next PM? ASTAGFIRULLAH! dies
Dasti saheb, salute to you, for fighting against unconstitutional decisions of supreme court. it needs moral courage to be disqualified for 5 years plus three years jail.
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.
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!
"Dasti" on Hina Rabbani? :) boys with toys
Jali degree holder....only qualification that he is a Jiyala...does not fit to be a Councillor and is ambitious to become a PM.....he just fits in....I am for him as PM.
LOL.....one crook after another........well done Zardari, you are really making the whole world laugh at us.
Poor Dasti needed some "media love" aka attention!
Aaahhh...we may be horrible people...but do we really deserve people like Dasti to be in the parliament?
Democracy is the best revenge indeed !!
This man truly is democracy's best revenge. I hope to God PPP doesn't do THIS to Pakistan.
What's wrong with you ET??. Proven fraudsters like Dasti are given that much importance??? Seems like the news editors haven't had their iftar yet!!!!
Hahahahahahahahah, Lost my words for comment purpose.
If PML N gives into dividing Punjab , it'll be destroyed as a party along with plurality of Punjab ( where all races live but speak various dialects based on the region).
PML N needs to pass a new resolution calling for prularity and unity of Punjab.
if the bigger cheat is president, why can't small time crook be a prime minister?
NO!!
This will be the last nail in the Coffin of our national pride go ahead Dasti sab what a great talent of tale carryers PPP has.....
Your services are not required sir. stay home
Don't you need to have a degree to become PM?
......Sami Shah where are you ????
A guy who lied about MA in Islamiat!! No Pakistani will accept such a liar .
they got a waiting list?
This serves the three jeem nexus and their fundamentalist middle class supporters right!
Actually I am just Speechless....
