Past governments ignored women, PTI Mainstreaming Women: Punjab Chief Minister

Lahore, March 19, 2019 (PPI-OT): Federal Parliamentary Secretary Andleeb Abbas called on Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar at the CM Office. Speaking on the occasion, CM Usman Buzdar said we are taking measures to provide equal development opportunities to women as the half of the population is consisted of women and targets of development can only achieved with participation of women in every field. He said the role of women is very important for economic and social development of the country.

Governments in the past have not taken solid measures to give basic rights to women but the current government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan, has included the women in the national mainstream. He said the responsibility of empowering women will be discharged in an effective manner and women will be empowered with providing them equal opportunities of development. The chief minister said women of Pakistan are competent and hardworking and they have proved their talent in every field of life. Revolutionary measures will be taken to empower women.

He said the image of Pakistan has improved in the world community after the PTI came to power. He said Pakistan has failed war hysteria of India through successful and best foreign policy. He said we want good relationships with neighbouring countries, but compromise will not be made on solidarity and independence of the country. India should know that the war is the way to destruction and demolition. He said history will remember the sagacious policy of PM Imran Khan for peace in the region.
