00:00 Whenever the political atmosphere is tense in a country, women have become a political part of it and created space.
00:08 This time, if we see, women have taken a practical part in the politics of Pakistan, showing more interest than before.
00:16 If we see, the total number of candidates is more than 28,000 in the election, but the number of women is more than the last time.
00:23 This time, more than 3,000 women will take part in the election.
00:26 Women are now taking part in 471 seats in the National Assembly.
00:32 In the seats of the Subahi Assembly, there are 802 candidates.
00:36 In the Punjab Assembly, there are only 437 candidates.
00:39 In the Sindh Assembly, there are 205 candidates.
00:43 In the KPK Assembly, there are 115 candidates.
00:47 In Balochistan, there are 45 candidates.
00:49 The total number of women voters has also increased to 5,87,40,453.
00:56 This time, more than 11% of the women candidates have submitted their names.
01:03 Women have played a role in the struggle for democracy.
01:06 This is not a secret.
01:07 In the 1965 presidential election, when no candidate was seen to compete with Ayub Khan,
01:13 Fatima Jinnah took the stage as a representative of the Hizb-e-Ikhtilaf.
01:16 Asma Jahangir's father was arrested and sent to jail.
01:19 At that time, no lawyer refused to take the case.
01:22 After the court's permission, Asma Jahangir fought the case at the age of 21.
01:26 Not only did she get her father released,
01:28 but she also got the dictatorship declared illegal by the court.
01:32 Nusrat Bhutto Sahiba, everyone knows,
01:34 during the days of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's imprisonment,
01:36 she led the People's Party,
01:37 she ran a lot of political movements for his release,
01:39 and remained the chairperson of the party from 1979 to 1984.
01:42 After Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's imprisonment,
01:44 Benazir Bhutto took over the leadership of the People's Party with his mother.
01:47 She was elected as the chairperson.
01:50 In 1988, she was honoured to become the first female PM of Pakistan.
01:55 After Nawaz Sharif's assassination,
01:57 Begum Kulsoom Nawaz led a lot of pro-political movements
02:00 and formed a forum called Majlis-e-Tahfuz-e-Pakistan.
02:04 When the Panama case was filed,
02:05 even after Nawaz Sharif's assassination,
02:07 Begum Kulsoom Nawaz fought the election with the NA-120.
02:11 And Mariam Nawaz's character,
02:13 even after the Panama case,
02:14 when Nawaz Sharif was assassinated,
02:16 she played a very important role.
02:18 And the political space that PMLN has now,
02:20 Mariam plays a very important role in that.
02:23 When I saw from the Supreme Court,
02:24 that Daniyal Aziz Sahiba was assassinated,
02:26 then her wife, Minaz Akbar Aziz Sahiba,
02:28 fights the elections from Narowal.
02:29 In 2002, Hina Rabbani Khar,
02:31 after the assassination of some members of the family,
02:34 Hina Rabbani Khar Sahiba herself fought the election.
02:36 And now we see that
02:37 the mother of Usman Dar and Umar Dar is fighting the election.
02:40 So the issue is that
02:41 women can do all this work.
02:43 Then why is it waited for?
02:44 When the man is killed or under arrest,
02:46 only then women have to be part of the political process.
02:48 Even now we see that
02:49 a large number of young girls and women
02:51 are moving ahead in the political process.
02:54 This is a healthy indicator.
02:55 Please observe.

03:13 So whenever a political space is over,
03:17 women move ahead.
03:19 But the only surprise is that
03:20 why do they get a chance at that time
03:22 when men are not able to participate in the election process.
03:25 I love my victory I am really
