Jamshed Dasti, a member of the National Assembly (MNA) from Muzaffargarh, on Friday agreed to withdraw his resignation from the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) after being persuaded by Fayal Talpur, sister of President Asif Ali Zardari, in a meeting. Talpur listened to Dasti’s complaints and assured him provision of necessary funds for the next elections, besides addressing his other grievances.
After the meeting, Dasti reached the National Assembly along with Talpur. Sources said that Zardari had asked his sister to meet Dasti and remove his grievances with the party. Earlier, talking to reporters at the Supreme Court, Dasti said that in Islamic history, even caliphs appeared before the qazis (judges), and that the president should not hesitate to appear before the court. He said he had resigned from the PPP, and not the National Assembly. Dasti said that he had decided to challenge Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar in the next elections because she had made her constituency’s people hostage.
