PTI Women’s Convention (Punjab)


The Punjab Women’s wing PTI Headed by Ms. Saloni Bukhari held a convention for women on the 14th April 2012 at Aiwan-e-Iqbal Lahore. Presided by Chairman Imran Khan, it included the top leadership of the party. Tehreek’s women office bearers and workers from all over Punjab were invited to this occasion which gave a chance to Chairman Imran Khan to listen to their hard work, contributions, their input in the cities and periphery; and how this wing has been working hand in glove with the women from all over the society.
PTI has been committed to promote women, their issues since its inception. Both youth and women play a vital role in character building of any society, our specially need to be rescued on a war footing by the intellect and hard work of females of this nation who constitute a 48% of the total population. They, with their diligent ways can extinguish the fire of destruction that envelopes our surroundings.

 
Chairman Imran Khan started his address on this convention with the lines from Surah Fatiha; Iyaka Nabudu wa Iyaka Nastayein (You alone we worship and You alone we seek for help). Khan sb hailed the contribution of women since the start of times in this world. He specified how an educated and knowledgeable mother can make sound careers for her children; similar rule applies to educated mothers transforming a mediocre society to an exemplary one. Stating an example of his mother Mohtarma Shaukat Khanum who stood behind him through his education, learning years and made him the man he is today.

He talked about how PTI (once in power) will protect the rights of women in the different sections of society,  provide security and protection to them, matters relating to female inheritance will be safeguarded for them and no one will be allowed to usurp their share, equal education and job opportunities will be provided for females. No injustice to anyone will be tolerated in our time, no one will be allowed to steal away the riches of this country and “elope” (with their beloved: Money) from here. Tomorrow’s Pakistan that we will uplift will be giving loans to poorer countries; people from abroad will seek jobs here. All we need to do is correct and manage Governance. Pakistan is a gifted soil, having treasures that make up to billions in monetary value; all this will be used for people welfare programs. Ideology of Allama Iqbal and Mr. Jinnah will become a reality in our rule.

He condemned the killings of Shia minority by various groups, pointing to the fact that such entities who kill are neither friends of Islam nor are they doing a favor to the Pakistani nation. What irritates the masses and this party is the fact that we have given undue importance to a war that wasn’t ours in the first place. He condemned the inclusion of Pakistani power houses who side with the policies of USA.
         
Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf, he said, is not a party of inheritance. It does not believe in keeping the power in the family, among its relatives to give shares only to which one is related. He stressed the importance of elections within the party so that able, honest and educated people on merit could be chosen from within and that everyone equally works hard and pools in to give a sure-shot win to “Team Pakistan.”

  1. Ayesh,its of immense pleasure to read this article on PTI Women Convention.PTI is symbolic for change from grass root to top levels. It is the only platform where you feel people r self motivated and mostly r educated and well aware of our social fabric. Women of Pakistan comprise of a population of 88 millon. You can well imagine. This segment is half of our countrys population. If PTI is taking this segment into their fold ,deffinitely the impact shall he as great. Our country needs a change which these women r dedicated to bring to minimize social injustice and they r comitted to become a part of the mainstream workforce to build a better and greater Pakistan.
    Hope that this party has enough management skills that this vote bank doesn't get drained by any chance.
    My best of wishes for future endeavors!!!!
