Pakistan’s four major political parties found themselves on same page to endorse a decree banning woman from using their right to vote in Gilgist Baltistan.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl supported a Fatwa issued by Ulema of constituency LA-17 that prevents women from casting their votes in the upcoming election on June 8th.
The decree was issued during a meeting at a local mosque where leaders of the four parties were also in attendance on Friday.
Haider Khan, Dr Muhammad Zaman, Rehmat Khaliq and Ghaffar Khan represented the PML-N, the PTI, the JUI and the PPP respectively.
Following the decree, more than 12,000 women of the Diamir area won’t be able to cast their votes.
Very undemocratic on part of so called saviours of democracy.
