Doha: An online meeting was organised to offer condolence on the demise of the mother of Shakeb Ahsan, patron of Bazme Sadaf International (BSI) Doha chapter.
She had tested positive for COVID-19 and after battling the disease for three weeks in Zahra hospital, UAE she breathed her last a week ago. She was a teacher in Patna, (India) and was living with her husband and younger son, Shadab Ahsan in UAE after her retirement.
President of BSI Doha chapter, Dr. Nadeem Zafar Jilani Danish mentioned that BSI members from across the globe had sent messages of condolence for its patron and due to the pandemic circumstances, it was felt that an online meeting should be arranged for members to express sympathy with Shakeb Ahsan & his family at this hour of grief.
LAHORE: Hundreds of women, carrying flags and banners of their political parties, on Sunday attended the Pakistan Democratic Movement’s rally at Minar-i-Pakistan.
They had come to the provincial metropolis from different cities. Belonging to almost all socioeconomic backgrounds, some of them had also brought their children along them.
PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz had urged the women of her party, especially wives of parliamentarians and office-bearers of the party, to be proactive and ensure participation of the maximum women in the rally. It seems the PML-N women acted on her call and attended the rally in a large number.
