ISLAMABAD, Aug 17 (TNS): Dejected ex PTI member Ayesha Gulalai Wazir caught everyone by surprise on Thursday when she made a ‘Dabang’ entry in National Assembly by wearing a traditional tribal turban.

She originates from Wazir tribe of north western part of Pakistan but pertinent to mention that the said turban is considered to be strictly the men’s head wear only in conservative tribes’ culture.

The main aim of her to wear turban seems to send down the message to her opponents that she is a fearless tribal girl and up against any challenge.

“There is no male accompanying me. My family and myself are struggling against a mafia,” she introduced herself when asked by a security guard outside the parliament house.

Earlier this month, the disgruntled PTI member accused chairman Imran Khan of harassment by sending inappropriate text messages.

She also complained about rampant corruption in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and that there was no respect for women in the party.

Gulalai, who was elected on a seat reserved for women, has refused to quit from her seat in the National Assembly. Gulalai hails from South Waziristan and was the youngest MNA when elected in 2013.
