It's quite difficult for me not to be able to return to my country, but in my country justice has been murdered.

I seek to lead a democratic Pakistan which is free from the yoke of military dictatorship and that will cease to be a haven, the very petri dish of international terrorism.

What is important is that a political party articulates the mood of a generation.

I am constitutionally competent to contest the elections.

Dictatorships by their nature are unrepresentative as they neglect the social needs of the people.

The next few months are critical to Pakistan's future direction as a democratic state committed to promoting peace, fighting terrorism and working for social justice.

The best hijab is in the eyes of the beholder.
