An Introduction to Women's Parliamentary Caucus Parliament
An Introduction to Women’s Parliamentary Caucus Parliament of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan The Caucus Icons —Three Legendary Women: Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah – 1893-1967 Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah, the youngest sister of the Founder of the Nation Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah and a dentist by profession, emerged as the leading woman voice during the freedom struggle. During this Movement, she rendered innumerable services in organising Muslim women of the Sub-Continent from the platforms of “All India Muslim League’s Women Wing” and “All India Muslim Women Students Organisation” to seek for a separate homeland that would ensure equal rights to all its citizens, without any discrimination of gender, class or creed. While touring the remotest corners of the country, the “brother and sister duo” stood shoulder to shoulder, hence giving a message of “partnership on equal basis” loud and clear. In his book, “Jinnah, Pakistan and Islamic Ideology”, renowned writer and historian Prof. Akbar S. Ahmed records: “Quaid-e-Azam asked Fatima Jinnah to sit beside him at Sibi Darbar, the grand annual gathering of Baluch and Pakhtun chiefs and leaders. He was making a point: Muslim women must take their place in the history of Pakistan. The Sibi Darbar broke all precedents” She reached the zenith of her political accomplishments, when towards the end of her life in 1965 she defied tradition and challenged the dictatorship of Field Marshal Ayub Khan by contesting against him as the unanimous candidate of all the opposition parties. Even a conservative party like the Jamaat-i-Islami accepted her as a woman presidential candidate. -

The committee in the meetings discussed and examined issues relating to roles, functions and responsibilities of Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The sole purpose of the Foreign Affairs Committee is to serve the best interests of the country. The prestigious committee always prefers to focus on matters that are pertinent to the interest of the nation. Pakistan is situated in an extremely volatile region of the world. It is in our best interest to manage cooperative relations not only with our neighbours but also with other states on the basis of equality and self-respect. It is also made sure that core interests of the country were never compromised at any cost and should remain top priority of the institutions responsible. Pakistan being a responsible Nuclear Power and member of the international society makes sure that the foreign policy is enshrined on the principles that were laid by the founding father of the country. The country is riding a tide of troubles therefore the need of the hour is that the foreign policy and the domestic policy should be coherent and consistent to cope with the challenges. -
