Senator Krishna Kumari of the PPP became the first woman to chair a session of the Senate on Friday after she was asked by the Senate chairperson to chair the session to mark International Women’s Day.
“Chairman Senate of Pakistan decided to make our colleague Krishna Kumari Kohli aka Kishoo Bai to Chair the Senate for today on Women’s Day,” Senator Faisal Javed tweeted.
"I consider myself lucky today by chairing the Senate session, I salute Pakistan and the people of Pakistan.
Senator Kumari made history after becoming the first Hindu woman to be elected to the Senate. She was elected on the reserved seat for women minorities from Sindh.
She continued to achieve accolades for Pakistan and was featured last year on BBC’s list of 100 inspiring and influential women from around the world.
Senator Kumari is a member of Sindh’s Hindu community based in Thar. She hails from the family of freedom fighter Rooplo Kolhi.
