PML-N women’s wing devises strategy for long march

PESHAWAR: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) provincial women wing said around 120 women activists from every district of the province would depart for March 16 long march at Islamabad. PML-N women wing leaders said they would have a meeting with party’s provincial president Pir Sabir Shah today (Tuesday) to formulate a strategy for the long march. “We have party organisations in 15 out of 24 districts of the province and about 120 women activists from each district would leave for Islamabad in vehicles on March 16,” PML-N General Secretary Shazia Aurangzeb told Daily Times on Monday at the oath-taking ceremony of Peshawar Division office-bearers. MPA Shazia said the women wing condemned police “violence” against its “peaceful” rally on March 6 and would file a writ petition in Peshawar High Court against it. Shazia said her party would not allow “power-hungry” President Asif Zardari to become a civilian dictator and leave behind him another “dictator”, Farooq Naik, who had been nominated for the post of Senate chairman. PML-N women wing president MNA Dr Imtiaz Sultan Bukhari termed the police violence against PML-N women activists as shameful. She requested the chief minister to take notice of the police attitude and punish those involved in it. MNA Dr Bukhari and MPA Shazia Aurangzeb said they would also take up the police issue on the floor of National Assembly and the provincial assembly to condemn the “state terrorism” and the dragging of women on Peshawar roads. staff report
