The PPP women lawmakers asked the government to take practical steps instead of giving mere statements on Kashmir issue.
They said the government had made contacted with only 12 foreign countries to apprise them about ongoing Kashmir situations, which they termed as great blow to Pakistan foreign policy.

She said that Prime Minister Imran Khan is following footsteps of Indian premier Modi. She alleged that PM had sold out Kashmir during his visit to the United States.

Furthermore, she criticised that the PTI failed to bring any changes despite its six years rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa She observed that the recent medical test had exposed its claim about education emergency in the province.
Senator Rubina Khalid said that the attitude of KP Chief Minister is undemocratic. She said the lies are telling on social media. She said it was completely unjust to disallow daughter to meet with father. She said there is a clear difference between words and deeds of the incumbent government.
