\nPakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior vice president Maryam Nawaz said on Wednesday that the role of women in politics was vital.
\nAddressing a speech on the occasion of International Women\u2019s Day, Ms Nawaz said it was necessary that the women pick up the right party that will pave the way for them to raise their voice at the national level.
\nMs Nawaz greeted the Women\u2019s Day, saying, \u201cIn overly routine life, everyday belongs to women, as no day would be complete without the presence of our women.\u201d Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior vice-president Maryam Nawaz has resolved to struggle for the rights of women.
\n\u201cThere is a need to give confidence to sisters and daughters. Women should have right to 52 percent resources of the country. Women can decide the fate of the nation through their votes,\u201d she maintained.
\nMaryam Nawaz said that nations are respected only by respecting their women. \u201cWomen have always scripted a timeless story of courage and resolve. Women are power of their parents and proving this truth through their capabilities in each sector.\u201d
\nShe said that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif have always played a historic role for the education, health, protection and economic betterment of women.
\n\u201cWomen\u2019s economic self-reliance can expedite economic progress of Pakistan. Our foremost agenda is the education of women,\u201d she maintained. Speaking about Fatima Jinnah, Ms Nawaz said, \u201cI am biggest admirer of Fatima Jinnah. After that, I am the biggest fan of my mother, who is not with me today.
\nBut she lives in my every breath. I have learned a lot in a life from my mother. My mother, Kulsoom Nawaz, was farsighted woman.\u201d She recounted the role of the women in different aspects of life, saying, the women had proved their mettle in every field.
\n She heaped praise on many celebrities, including cricketer Bismah Maroof and the youngest Microsoft professional, Arfa Karim. Commending the efforts of noted singer Hadiqa Kiani, Ms Nawaz said, \u201cI want to salute Hadiqa Kiani for rendering her social services without the support of the government.\u201d
\nSharing her experience of jail in a case of the National Accountability Bureau, Maryam said the anti-graft watchdog did not have space for women prisoners. But, she said, her mother\u2019s training and God\u2019s grace helped her go through the difficult time in jail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
