MULTAN: Member National Assembly Jamshed Dasti has finally decided to join Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI).
Dasti, a staunch champion of the Seraiki province cause, has also demanded from PTI to work seriously for a separate province in south Punjab.
Talking to The Express Tribune, he said that he had personally convened the political processions of PTI in Jampur and DG Khan for supporting PTI along with supporting his brother against Noor Rabbani Khar.
He said that the policy of PTI against feudal lords will help him in uniting people of south Punjab for a Seraiki province.
Jamshed Dasti said he has also devised a plan to lead the region of south Punjab with policies of PTI for a new Seraiki province.
Dasti added that PTI is the only party that he believes will work without nepotism and sticking to status quo. He said he did not want any ministry or political office and his only demand is the empowerment of the people of his region.
He also shared that Imran khan has asked him to meet him in person for devising the new political and administrative strategy for the DG Khan division, Bahawalpur division and Multan division under supervision of Vice Chairman PTI Shah Mehmood Qureshi.
He told The Express Tribune that for poor people like himself, the only hope that remains in the political realm is PTI.

In popular democracy its not about the education of a candidate if a person is liked by people and voted then he/she has right to be an Member of Parliament. What is so wrong if Dasti do not have a degree it might be that his circumstances did not allowed him to have education. He is not a feudal lord to study in West and then come to rule Pakistan. He is the people choice and must deserve respect like any other so called degree holders. We should not judge people by education he is in politics and winning against the powerful likes of Khar's so a big achievement for a common man to stand up against feudal and win elections. so please forgive Dasti for his fake or other wise no degree.
@NYR: Good reply. ET is just running on rumors these days, anything to generate public interest.
BTW, the Dasti guy has his own website? Kudos! this guy can get very popular if he can make amends for his past misdeeds.
Before he talks about joining any party, I would like to see his last five yrs tax returns. Did he pay all the taxes? He must release his previous tax returns. Public has the right to see the financial assets of any politician.
welcome another electable to the party of electable what is wrong with it
@Ahmad: what principles
THIS IS A FAKE NEWS PEOPLE. JAMSHED DASTI CONFIRMED HIMSELF THAT HE IS NOT JOINING PTI http://www.jamsheddasti.com/2013/07/jamshed-dasti-joining-pti-not-yet-but.html
PTI will probably still get my vote, we need an end to family politics. However, PTI Please do not entertain Jamshed Dasti. This guy needs to first apologize for his past behaviour. Apologize for lying about his degree, and apologize for the incident where he led a mob to a hospital, and the time he threatened the highway policeman.
@Aleem:
The last time I checked, the likes of Ghulam Sarwar, Ayla Malik, Faiz Timman and some of the other disqualified MPAs from KPK were never part of PML-N! Hence your attempt at comedy has been nipped in the bud, bud!
@TRUE Boy:
The same applies to you as well, boy.
haq parast: IK would have done the same begging. Why r u so surprised by that PML N has done it. PTI people should focus more on KPK which is been ruined day by day by PTI.
@Haq parast:
I'll take a loan from IMF on any given day than to support some "Bhatta Parast" second class citizen who has pledged his allegiance to the queen and having his minion-cum-trolls wandering around on social media.
@Khana: Zardari is a well known to us.... but honestly speaking I am scared of the Good Guys when they do BAD.... Like PTI doing right now.
FAKE DEGREES - Who is saying and What ? PML(N) is standing on No.1 in this contest.
PTI against feudal lords ............... that is a joke. What PTI hierarchy is made up of?
PTI and IK will welcome anyone with any background to get seats in NA, It is making me scare thinking about "Naya Pakistan"
i would say its a good move, election is over now, and PTI needs to strenthen in south punjab, lets welcome him , i hope PTI will get more strength in that region now, as 2 MPAs have already won from south punjab in byelections
Well come BRAVOOOOOO..
fake news because there have been no official announcement made by PTI Officially
Welcome JAMSHID DASTI in PTI PTI Need few more TRUE WORKER like you to further challenge the STATUS QUO Having Opportunity to be the Part of ruling party he dare to JOIN PTI. - GREAT!
We have the same problem as Egypt, the 20% of cities will demand democracy BUTT forgets that rural population will also be voting and HEADS COUNT IN DEMOCRACY !!! So learn to respect those heads and these MNA are a reflection of their constituencies Get out Islamabad n Karachi and you will see that ppl don't give a damn about the degree of candidates (and degree doesn't make you more intelligent or honest ) .......... So Dasti shines again..... He could have joined PML-N after election and must have got all SHO, DSPs and DPO of his choice in Muzaffargarh ....
So atleast must appreciate him for this step,
PTI against Fuedal system-when did that happen? What is Shah Mehmood Qureshi doing in the party then he too is a fuedal lord!!!
Dasti should avoid joining PTI. Its better to remain independent.
@Kaleem:
You forgot that if he joins, he would be doing so by abiding and adhering to IK's ideology.
As IK said, if they want to do politics through different way....come here too. Way to go IK, kick this government through influential people in rural area politics
if he is joining pti it will help pti in south punjab
he has no corruption charges in past,i think its good decision. @Adnan Siddiqi:
fake news because there have been no official announcement made by PTI.
But he is nice person ,Leave degree matter ,he has no corruption charges in past @Adnan Siddiqi:
nice nice =D
Fake Degree Zindabad
@Adnan Siddiqi: He doesn't have any "Jaali Degree". His degree, issued by madrassa, was not recognized. The court has already cleared him.
ET stop maligning PTI, there's been no such decision.
When the same person was joining and supporting PMLN, he was being declared a great social worker and politician, but when there is a rumour about his joining PTI, he's being called corrupt. I am not sure why PMLN supported are this confused.
Regardless of his joining, one thing is clear, if he joins, he will be symbol of hope, change and naya pakistan, if he does not join, he will be part of status quo.
fake news because there have been no official announcement made by PTI.
He is Home!!
Naya pakistan = Jaali degree = topi drama
Most welcome sir.
false news because pti have not issued any statement which says this
I wonder if this guy will now abide by PTI principles and be a law abiding citizen. We know his recent incident where he threatened the highway police about his powers when he was fined for speeding.
I am smacking my lips at the "Troll Spin" on this one!!!! Jaali Degree anyone?
