BB’s privacy battle
We live in a world where women’s rights are essential for their well-being. Whatever happens in anyone’s life is not our concern. Especially interfering in a woman’s personal life is not right. Politics has its place, but using it for personal gain is disgusting. We don’t have concern with anyone’s politics, not even with Imran Khan. However, his wife is being dragged into some very personal issues which is not acceptable.
Whatever she has done she was right or wrong whatever but dragging her on disgusting level is really shameful. Making a woman’s menstrual cycle the subject of criminal inquiry as well as public debate. It’s not a joke to ask such derogate questions about a woman in a court and that’s a public platform. Making her life public property is very disgraceful. It causes a huge loss of women’s dignity, privacy and her rights and very disrespectful behaviour towards a woman in our societies. Now, we have to see such things where women’s personal life gets to discuss in courts. It’s not the nation’s concern whether a woman remarried in (iddat) or not. It’s not a topic to be idle talk about.
It’s not only a violation of women’s rights but also privacy rights. women felt that they got all their fundamental rights but no they were wrong they don’t know that they still have a fight left, if a man’s life is personal, then a women’s life is also a personal, Bushra Bibi iddat case verdict that any woman, irrespective of her background or circumstances, could now become the target on their marriage or divorce. What the hell is going on in our country. Leave a woman at least give them a family space. Women are easy targets for politics. The unethical questions about her very personal is very below the level of respect. Politicians like Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Farhatullah Babar and many women activists and lawyers oppose the verdict and are condemning this verdict as harmful on the dignity of women and violation of women rights.

Power lust
Election campaign of all political parties is in full swing and their leaders seem to make huge claims of addressing and resolving all issues being faced by common people as usual. Amid election campaign, a sad incident has transpired in Karachi that activists of two political parties clashed with each other and as a result, precious life of an activist has been lost. Video of the incident went viral on social media in which it can clearly be seen that activists were loaded with arms and firing openly which raises questions that how activists were carrying huge arms. Such situations escalate when party members, who have been awarded party tickets, openly intimidate opponents with aggressive speeches, inciting the youth to violence. Instead, they should focus on their party’s manifesto and address people positively. It’s concerning to see such behaviour from aspiring members of Provincial and National Assemblies; they should display maturity and refrain from threats.
Political parties do have differences which are quite obvious but their members should not intimidate their opponents and instigate youths for any sort of clash rather ask them to remain cool and calm and focus on their manifesto. What cruel leaders and members of political parties are, who just for the lust of power do not care that whoever losses his life but they keep provoking youth for encounter by delivering hatred speeches and intimidating their opponents.
Let the election be peaceful and hassle free and encourage people to caste vote and elect right people to take our country out of quagmire of enumerable and never-ending issues rather than making environment tense by delivering hatred speeches and intimidating opponents which could halt ordinary people from casting their votes.

Future elections
But, the question is, after the election will our economy grow? will we see political stability? will we move forward from old centuries? will this Pakistan provide a better future? Will Pakistan make them back who left for a better future? will this be an ideal country? If we have answers to these questions then definitely elections are the best solution.
But, if you don’t have answers, then nothing is going to change, circumstances of every family, every individual going to remain the same, I am questioning the public that have you seen that will in any politician who can be an answer to these questions, who has passion in his eyes who cannot only be part of imagination but have the reality to do so, who cannot only make us see dreams but to make those dreams in reality, and if that true leader is in Pakistan then that must have to win, Pakistan’s image is not good on international level, in someone’s government period Pakistan was called a begged country now, people don’t want that leaders for country, who once again make us to that level, who embarrassed us as a nation, who compelled people to leave the country amidst poverty, inflation, political instability, economic instability, starvation and the ongoing security threats.
Who left the people behind, Pakistan also has suffered with rollercoaster emotions like human. Now, it’s time to trust your vote, you can change Pakistan by your one vote; choose wisely and make the better and secure Pakistan.

Feminism
I am writing to express my deep concern about a challenging issue: feminism. Men and women should be considered. Every aspect of this thought by Doral is advocated and a political movement. feminism conditionally, women were better to stay at home and there were seared restrictions imposed on them. But unfortunately, they are remaining off multiple challenges. Today’s modern era women are as strong as men. Equal rights should be given to aspects, as in others actually as spots everything. It is their right there should be equal rights for women as men everywhere. Second is the right to vote night to work sight to decide the right to participate in public lite right to own Participate. Today in our society women are facing many problems regarding their lives.
