MULTAN
PTI President Makhdoom Javed Hashmi said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s US visit could only be declared successful if he succeeded to get drone attacks stopped and sustained American pressure on Pak-Iran gas pipeline issue. Talking to the journalists here at Multan Airport on Wednesday, he added that Pakistan did not need anyone’s permission for holding talks with the Taliban and it should suspend the operation forthwith and launch talks without any further delay.
He categorically declared that the future in Afghanistan was of Taliban. He said that those fighting against American forces in Afghanistan favoured Pakistan while on the other hand the US preferred India on Pakistan.  To a query, he said that the government badly failed to deliver and the masses disliked PML-N and Nawaz Sharif because of price hike. He maintained that the sky-rocketing prices made the lives of poor people further miserable.
