ISLAMABAD – Farhat Shahzadi, a close friend of Bushra Bibi, has withdrawn his nomination papers for the women’s seat in Senate elections.
The Election Commissioner in Lahore had summoned Farhat Shahzadi for the scrutiny process but she has pulled out from the race for the upper house of Pakistan’s Parliament.
According to Special Assistant to Prime Minister Imran Khan Dr Shahbaz Gill, the party has already issued tickets to Dr Zarqa for the only seat for women from Punjab in the Senate.
Farah Bibi is a part of PTI and has been active in the party for the last few years. She has submitted papers for the Senate which is her right. He is the party’s leading candidate.
سینیٹ میں پنجاب سے خواتین کی اکلوتی نشست پر PTI ڈاکٹر زرقا کو پہلے ہی ٹکٹ جاری کر چکی۔فرح بی بی PTI کا حصہ ہیں پچھلے کئے سالوں سے جماعت میں ایکٹو ہیں۔انہوں نے سینیٹ کے لئے کاغذات جمع کروائے ہیں جو ان کا حق ہے۔وہ پارٹی کی کورنگ امیدوار ہیں-تنقید سے پہلے حقائق جان کر،درست خبر دیں

Gill added that Shahzadi is an entrepreneur and runs her own business. We should give women a chance to come forward and avoid unnecessary criticism. Every office bearer and member of the party has the right to submit papers, he added.
وہ ایک entrepreneur ہیں اور اپنا بزنس کرتی ہیں۔ ہمیں خواتین کو آگے آنے کا موقع دینا چاہئے نہ کہ ان پر بے جا تنقید کرنی چاہئیے۔پارٹی کے ہر عہدےدار اور ممبر کا حق ہے کہ وہ کاغذات جمع کروائے۔ اس میں خاتون اوّل پر تنقید کر نا اور ان کو بے جا اس معاملے میں لانا درست نہیں ہے۔

As the nomination papers of Neelam Irshad Malik were rejected, Dr. Zarqa is the remaining candidate to contest this seat.
