Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Friday lauded the passage of the Sindh Women Agriculture Workers Bill, 2019 through the Sindh Assembly, saying that it was a “historic, progressive legislation”. Taking to Twitter, Bilawal said, “Historic, progressive legislation, in line with our manifesto. Sindh passes law to recognise agri-women as formal labourers.” The Sindh Assembly had earlier on Thursday unanimously passed the bill that recognises women working in the agricultural sector as formal labourers. The chairman of the standing committee on labour and human resources, Shahid Thaheem, presented the bill after scrutiny of the draft that was previously moved by the government in the provincial legislature. Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Mukesh Chawla presented the bill clause by clause in the House, with Deputy Speaker Rehana Leghari in the chair, which was adopted unanimously.
