Re: Woman to be Pakistan’s Speaker of National Assembly
Yep, it’s an undeniable fact that it was Musharraf that gave women record representation in the National Assembly, Senate, Provincial Assemblies, and district bodies, never seen before in the history of Pakistan. Now we have thousands of women elected at federal, provincial and local levels, challenging the previous stranglehold of men only.
Even our beloved democrats despite all their talk never made any such moves in the 1990’s to increase women’s representation at governmental level. Women’s seats are now enshrined in the LFO and 17th Amendment, which even our new democrats are loath to change, I am sure.
