PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Speaker Mushtaq Ahmed Ghani Tuesday said, “Our religion Islam gives unmatched respect, rights and status to women, but a handful of people are trying to create discrimination and hate between male and female through negative propaganda”. Addressing as a chief guest during a function held here in connection with International Women Day at Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Women University, he said that being Muslim “we observe women day every day as we give respect to female as a mother, sister, daughter, wife, adding that life is incomplete without these precious relations”. Mushtaq Ghani said that there was no bar on females in the society and they were free to participate in any field of life. He said that at present the number of female legislators in KP assembly was 27, including some of the best legislators. The PK assembly speaker singled out female students, advising them to concentrate on their studies to become a useful citizen of the country.
