Just like male workers of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), female workers of the party are no less excited ahead of the Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM), an opposition parties’ alliance, long march towards Islamabad against inflation as they have applied mehndi on their hands with anti-government slogans inscribed on it.
Similarly, they have also readied special dupattas (shawls), consisting of the party’s flag’s colors, for the occasion. In this connection, a rally was taken out at the Baghbanpura area of Lahore under the auspices of PML-N’s Women Wing in which female bike riders also participated. Likewise, female workers of the party are going door to door to convince the people to participate in the PDM’s long march.
