Re: Anyone knows about daring girl?
I don't remember the name. So what is the story of Appa Nisar Fatima?
Re: Anyone knows about daring girl?
She along with a few women hoisted the flag of PML or Pakistan on Punjab Secretariat I believe, I cant find anything regarding that on internet though.
She is the mother of Ahsan Iqbal of PMLN.
Re: Anyone knows about daring girl?
Just googled Apa Nisar Fatima.. She is the mother of Ahsan iqbal - MNA PML(N) and she was behind the legislation of death penalty for blasphemy. I don't think she was that girl, who hoisted Muslim league's (All India Muslim League) flag on Punjab Assembly / Secretariat Building during British rule.
Re: Anyone knows about daring girl?
Ok.. found this information about the daring girl
The Pakistan movement in 1946-47 saw the biggest ever mobilisation of Muslim women, standing confidently and marching with Jinnah as equals, women came out in large numbers joining Muslim League, protesting against the maulvis and agitating against the Unionist government. Their strength meant doubling the number of votes and agitators. They courted arrest, threw off their dupattas making flags out of them. During the civil disobedience movement in Punjab, more than 500 Muslim League women courted arrest, in a single day. Women took out processions, in Lahore day after day, for a whole month, undergoing all sorts of hazards, bravely facing teargas, lathi-charge, beatings, arrests, and imprisonment. Young women poets and writers like Mumtaz Shahnawaz were among the agitators. One of the prisoners, the intrepid Mumtaz Shah Nawaz, made a green flag out of her own dupatta, surreptitiously climbed up the jail building and hoisted it on top, shouting “Allah-o-Akbar” and “Pakistan Zindabad”. Two weeks later a young woman, Fatima Sughra, climbed up the massive iron-gate, pulled down the fluttering Union Jack, the symbol of imperial power, and replaced it with the green Muslim League flag, made out of her own dupatta, in the presence of a strong police contingent.
