Speaker National Assembly, Dr Fehmida Mirza was appreciated for her sagacious leadership for launching a parliamentary forum. The report said that this bi-partisan caucus of Women Parliamentarians has enabled its members to rise above party politics and to jointly work for the social economic uplift of the women in Pakistan.
