Women activists paid tributes to Fatima Jinnah here on Tuesday.
While talking to APP, they said Fatima Jinnah steered a new era of active women involvement in the national politics with major focus on upholding democratic norms.
Regional Director of Aurat Foundation, Mehnaz Rehman said, “She was a personality who brought together all pro-democracy forces on a single platform and made the world understand that democracy and Pakistan are two sides of a single coin.”
