Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto said on Sunday that he was proud of the Pakistan People’s party, in which two women played a leadership role. Speaking at the occasion of the National Day of Women, he said the nation should remember the struggle and resilience of women against authoritarianism. He added Begum Nusrat Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto were role models for the world and that Pakistani women were the symbol of indomitable spirit. Bilawal said it was impossible to preserve human rights unless women are given due rights and the 1973 Constitution awarded equal rights to the women of Pakistan. He laid the emphasis that the PPP would always support the women facing discrimination and their efforts to get out of unjustified treatment.
