Sharjeel promises action against men found riding pink scooters

In Mirpurkhas, Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon distributed free pink scooters to women during a ceremony on Saturday. Memon emphasized that the scooters were exclusively for women and stated that action would be taken against any man seen using a pink scooter. He highlighted that Sindh was the only province in the country providing such e-scooters to women.

Memon stated that after training women, the e-scooters would be handed out to those who passed the test. He added that women were actively participating in various fields, and the Pakistan Peoples Party would continue initiatives for women's empowerment. The minister said pink taxis for women would also be launched soon. Memon, who serves as Information, Transport, and Mass Transit Minister, remarked that he was unaware of the identities of the women present, as the distribution of pink scooters was being carried out without discrimination or distinction.

He noted that the number of women obtaining driving licenses had been increasing rapidly. Memon expressed his intention to provide EV scooters to 50,000 women who obtained driving licenses. He emphasized that empowering women aligned with the vision of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who had initiated numerous projects for women's empowerment.

Memon mentioned that women leaders, including Faryal Talpur, Dr. Azra Pechuho, Nafeesa Shah, and Shazia Marri, were now present in assemblies on general seats. He also highlighted that President Asif Ali Zardari had issued special instructions for women's empowerment, and Benazir Income Support Programme had provided identity cards to many women, thereby increasing the voter turnout.
