Mr Hussain slams the act of keeping women away from exercising their right of self-determination

Posted on: 8/22/2013

The Founder and Leader of Muttahida Qaumi Movement Mr Altaf Hussain has strongly condemned the act of depriving women to exercise their right of casting vote during by election in the constituencies of NA 5 Nowshera, NA 71 Mianwali and NA 27 Lucky Marawat.
Mr Hussain while lashing out this cowardly act has declared it not only as a severe violation of election code of conduct but also as an open violation of women’s basic rights.
In a harsh hitting statement Mr Hussain said that the ratio of women are more than half percent of the whole population of the country and keeping women deprived of their democratic right of casting vote in Pakistan during by election in above mentioned constituencies in such a modern and advance era is a sign of backwardness & age of darkness.
