Begum Khursheed Abdul Aziz (1913 -2010) the lady who will always be remembered. One of the best friends of Fatima Jinnah, the one who has done many things for the country. Founder of Hajirabad Colony near Shah Faisal Colony. 15000 people were settled there and houses were given to them in just 700 in 1960s. She was the architect of many colleges e.g. Sir Syed Girls College and she were the reliable adviser of Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah.
She was the true leader of women without any discrimination. She was the first who rose voice against the tradition of SATTI in hindu religion to protect the women burning in fire with her husband. She also tried to put the women rights on different forums. A true lover of Pakistan and its people. Do whatever she could for the refugees. Once she was offered the federal ministry too but she refused to get charge because wanted to serve people without being pointed out.
Led the women in Pakistan movement with Rana Liaquat Ali and Fatima Jinnah. Always helpful for needy people. A philanthropist and a great mother. Her husband was a journalist named Mr. Abdul Aziz. Both of them served the country with their endless and best efforts. She had the spiritual vision and powers gifted by ALLAH and with His support she was always blessed. May ALLAH rest her soul in peace.
