Dr. Saveera Parkash, the first Hindu candidate running in the 2019 general elections from the Buner (PK-25) constituency on the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) ticket, declared that, should she win, she will support women’s rights in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and work to strengthen diplomatic ties between Pakistan and India.
The party has made history in the province with her nomination; the well-educated candidate is a member of the minority Hindu community, which is unprecedented for a comparatively conservative KP.
The 25-year-old said in an interview with Geo News that she had been dubbed the “daughter of Buner” and that the “Muslim brothers” had promised her both their full support and their votes. Humanity is the world’s largest religion, according to Dr. Saveera.
Dr. Saveera was born in the hamlet of Dagar in 1998. She completed her FSC in pre-medical education in Lahore, while her elementary and secondary education was provided in her home district. After completing her medical studies in Abbottabad, the young physician started working from home.
After being granted a ticket by the PPP to contest in the next elections, she was presently getting ready for the Central Superior Services (CSS) in Pakistan. Dr. Saveera decided to run for office with the PPP because her family had supported the party for 37 years.
