Who is kashmala tariq scandal

I have checked up on my legal status and found that I am safe and do not fall under the ambit of 63A. The party should at least follow the due process. They should hear out the case and then decide whether or not Kashmala violated party discipline.

But the party leadership is not ready to follow rules and regulations. Q: You have been in parliament for the past six or seven years. Why have you not tried to change this anti-woman mindset within your party? A: I introduced the two most important bills regarding women in parliament: one on honour killings and the other on amendments to the Hudood Ordinances.

There was a very strong reaction against both because in the previous assembly the mullahs had a lot of seats and the PML-N was also opposed to the bill. Moreover, there was very strong resistance from within the party as well. But we kept on lobbying and the media was very supportive. Finally, we succeeded in passing both these bills. We also drafted a bill related to sexual harassment of women in the workplace but the party really resisted it and several members remarked that women would start making false accusations against men if this bill was passed.

This will only be possible through education. Q: Is there any truth in the accusation that you were creating a forward bloc within the party? A: I have been served a show-cause notice which says that I was trying to form a forward bloc in the party, which is against the party discipline — and that was the second reason for my expulsion from the parliamentary party.

The PML-Q is not the property of an individual. We [the alleged forward bloc] are a group of around 15 like-minded members and we have stated on record that we have not formed a forward bloc but a reformist group within the party.

We had announced that we would not leave the party and had pressed for reforms within the party. Why has action only been taken against me on charges of forming a forward bloc? Also, the party leadership has not taken any action against those members of the Balochistan Assembly who have defected and joined hands with the PPP to form the government and are enjoying their ministries.

Neither have they taken any disciplinary action against more than 25 MPs of the Punjab Assembly who have formed a forward bloc. Faisal Bari.
