DERA ISMAIL KHAN:
Under scrutiny MNA Jamshed Dasti claimed on Thursday that the government was not serious in conducting peace talks.

Addressing a press conference in Dera Ismail Khan on Thursday, Dasti alleged that the foreign policy was being influenced by America.

Dasti, who has come under the spotlight for alleging that immoral activities were being carried out in the parliament lodges, implored the media to refrain from falsely praising political figures, especially when these political figures continue to exploit the nation in the name of national security.


He said that as many as 37 organisations were going to be privatised putting 47,000 workers out of jobs.

Dasti added that the falling value of the US dollar against the rupee will not benefit the poor.

The MNA who hails from Muzaffargarh, met with local Saraiki political parties. He said that politicians in power blame those who seek a separate Sariaki province for wanting to break Pakistan, adding that a separate province was the right of the Sariaki people.

On the Parliament Lodges issue, he stated that there should be a referendum to decide if the parliamentarians involved should be punished.
