“I will strive to preserve the Islamic Ideology which is the basis for the creation of Pakistan” Dear Pak Feminists, I have the honor to draw your kind attention to the Oaths of Office with a view to know its harmful or helpful effects of this statement made on oath on the Pak Feminism; “I will strive to preserve the Islamic Ideology which is the basis for the creation of Pakistan”. I would like to know the stand, publicly declared stand, if any, of the Pak Feminists on this statement. Is it right or wrong for one to question the good faith of a Feminist woman who as Minister takes this oath: “I will strive to preserve the Islamic Ideology which is the basis for the creation of Pakistan”?
