DERA ISMAIL KHAN, April 11: NWFP Governor Syed Iftikhar Hussain Shah  will address a public meeting here on April 14 in connection with the referendum.

District Nazim Latifullah Khan Alizai said while talking to this scribe on Tuesday that due to the decisions taken by President Gen Pervez Musharraf, the country was pulled out of default and the same United States government that termed his rule undemocratic was now favouring his policies, calling him a good friend of the US. He said the government had taken the bold step of apprehending the plunderers.
