In 1988, my mother led a nationwide election campaign, wrote a bestselling book, had her first child, and became the youngest and first female prime minister of the Muslim world. All in one year! For her detractors, this wasn't good enough. She was unacceptable because she was a woman.

I would like to help my people in any way I can. It's difficult times in Pakistan and we all have to help.

The court can, and must, only maintain its legitimacy through the dispensation of justice, not by coercion and censorship.
