Eunuchs have also decided to boost their representation in politics, as two prominent members of their community have filed nomination forms for PS-115 and 130 Sindh respectively.
The slogan adopted by the eunuchs read “Don’t try the tested ones, shake hands with eunuchs”. Bindya Rana, the provincial president of one of their organisation’s named “Jayya” would contest polls from PS-115 Sindh, while Mazhar Anjum alias Anju would join the race for PS-130.
Talking to media persons, a group of eunuchs said that members of their community would enter the electoral arena all over Pakistan. “If we are elected to power, we would turn around the prevailing circumstances within six months,” they claimed.
They further said that they have been in contact with other political parties for seat adjustments. “Alliance will be made only with a party which has a manifesto that covers protection of eunuchs’ rights,” they added.
