In a first, Hindu woman files nomination in Pakistan general elections

Saveera Parkash, a member of the Hindu community in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Buner district, has filed nomination papers for a general seat in the upcoming general elections. She is running on a Pakistan People's Party (PPP) ticket and aims to follow in her father's footsteps, working for the underprivileged. Parkash is the first woman from Buner to submit nomination papers for a general seat. The Election Commission now mandates a five percent inclusion of women candidates in general seats.
