MULTAN:
Former MNA Jamshed Dasti announced on Thursday that he will contest elections from Muzaffargarh NA-177 and 178, Express News reported.
The announcement came as he spoke to the media after being released from the central jail Multan.
On April 4, Dasti was disqualified from elections, slammed with a three year sentence in jail and Rs 5,000 penalty by the Muzaffargarh District and Sessions court on account of having a fake degree.
Later on, the Lahore High Court Multan Bench ordered the release of former MNA Jamshed Dasti and declared the three-year jail term handed to him as null and void.
“It is a win for the poor. Me and my family will fight against the feudal system,” Dasti said addressing the media.
“I had said time and again that my degree was not fake and now I am proven right,” said a smiling Dasti.
Dasti had announced earlier that neither will he contest the upcoming elections and nor any of his family members.
"I was really disappointed at that time and decided to leave politics, but my supporters want me back," Dasti said.
Dasti was all praises for the judiciary and the media.
