PTI’s allaince with JI: When a move to the right is not the right move

When Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s comments can provoke Imran Khan into saying that he is not campaigning to get support from Ahmadis, it shows that he may have given some thought to his personal religious beliefs, but not enough to the idea of equality of citizenship for everyone, regardless of their culture, creed, caste or belief. When PTI joins other political parties in signing a declarationbarring women voters in Dir, it signifies that the party may have understood the importance of voting, but perhaps not the importance of gender equality.

One thing that’s never understood by foreign observers and everyone else who doesn’t have a clue about South Asian traditions is the venerated place of women. Our entire folklore is full of tales of brave women. All the heroic characters are women: Sassi, Marvi, etc. Karachi is named after a brave woman. This is not even the case for Persian and Arab literature where most of the times the female character is hidden, for example Leyla and Shirin. If you want to know why Benazir was prime minister in Pakistan, why Sonia Gandhi wins in India and why Sheikh Hasina is in power in Bangladesh, look at our traditions. Religious extremists and their modernist counterparts would do well to revisit history.
