Dr. Saveera Parkash, the pioneering Hindu candidate vying for a seat in the general elections from the Buner constituency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, aims to foster diplomatic ties between Pakistan and India if elected.
As the first Hindu candidate from Buner, representing the Pakistan People's Party (PPP), Dr. Saveera Parkash, at 25 years old, holds aspirations to serve her community and address the challenges faced by Hindus residing in Pakistan. She has been embraced by locals, receiving the honorary title 'daughter of Buner,' indicating widespread support from the Muslim community as well.
Expressing her patriotic devotion, Dr. Saveera pledges to facilitate communication and support for the Hindu populace, both within Pakistan and across the border. She aims to build constructive relations between Islamabad and New Delhi, encouraging open interaction between the Hindu community and herself, without hesitation or barriers.
Her optimism for enhanced Indo-Pak relations was bolstered by PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's positive efforts during his Goa visit, which she views as a step forward in strengthening ties between the neighboring nations.
While her candidacy stands as a significant moment in Pakistan's political landscape, Dr. Saveera emphasizes her commitment to education, healthcare, and environmental concerns. She aims to address the deficiency in healthcare facilities and educational resources within her district, prioritizing the improvement of these vital sectors.
Driven by her father's humanitarian influence, Dr. Om Parkash, a dedicated practitioner, Dr. Saveera embarked on a medical career to follow his footsteps. Her MBBS completion from the Abbottabad International Medical College in 2022, coupled with her role as the general secretary of the PPP women's wing in Buner, reflects her dedication to public service and community welfare.
In her quest to uplift Buner, a region grappling with various challenges and insufficient resources, Dr. Saveera's determination to make a difference stands as a testament to her aspirations for positive change within her community and the nation at large.
