Good move, congrats!! Reading this news, I can not stop myself sharing some information from Indian side. Sarojini Naidu was India's first woman governor and she took the oath on the eve of India's Independence i.e. 15th Aug, 1947.

Good step, congratulations.

India have many of women as governors even President.

But, Why bring India into this, it is about pakistan. This can derail the thread.

I think we need to have woman Governors in other provinces too.

Too much of Makbools and Taseers

Good going Pakistan. We have some female CMs we are willing to send to you for elections if you want

I think we need to have woman Governors in other provinces too.

I think we need the most competent persons out there. Such high level posts should not be reserved on gender basis.

A man or women makes no difference in my opinion as long as he/she is the best among the lot.
