FAISALABAD: Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry said on Sunday that there was a complete consensus in Pakistan Tehreek Insaaf on women rights, and the government was pursuing a holistic strategy to include all segments of  society including women in the mainstream of national development.

He was talking to the media during his visit to residence of Chairman CM Complaint Cell Chaudhry Mehboob Alam Sindhu here.

According to Quaid-e-Azam, we cannot make progress until and unless we bring the women in mainstream of national development.
