Last year Dr.Sania Nishtar made it to the list of the BBC’s 100 Most Influential Women 2020 due to her consistent efforts to facilitate the state projects providing relief to Pakistan’s downtrodden masses. The current government has introduced laudable projects like soup kitchens, shelter homes, reinvigoration, and expansion of social security projects like the Benazir Income Support Program, and introducing a multitude of other welfare projects under the umbrella of the Ehsaas Program. Nishtar has left a mark with her efforts to alleviate poverty in Pakistan.
While today’s events that unfolded in Islamabad have been quite upsetting but I guess that , it should not stop us from celebrating the victory of Dr @SaniaNishtar who ritually deserved this victory after the amazing work she has done!
More power to you Dr Sahiba!
