Pakistan may have its first female president
LAHORE - If reports are to be believed, Pakistan will soon see the daughter-in-law of Dr Allama Muhammad Iqbal as its first female president.

Justice (r) Nasira Iqbal, who was married to late Justice (r) Javed Iqbal, is one of the most prominent women of the country and abroad.

Rumor has it that the 89-year-old may become the South Asian country’s 13th head of the state, replacing Mamnoon Hussain who took the office on Sept 9, 2013.

Mrs. Iqbal was also one of the first five women to be appointed to the Lahore High Court. She served there from 1994 to 2002. She also has various honors to her name, like the  Fatima Jinnah Medal for Women’s Rights in 2006, the Woman of the Year Star Award in 2007, and the Wonder Woman Award in 2011.

In the past, PPP’s Benazir Bhutto had served as the country’s first female prime minister while Fehmida Mirza as the National Assembly speaker.

Now, it will be an honor to have our national poet's daughter-in-law as the President. But all depends on Imran Khan, whose party - the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) - is set to form the federal government following a landslide victory in the 2018 General Elections.

How do you see Mrs. Nasira Iqbal's as next president? Do let us know!
