Quotes

• Feudalism was a licence to plunder, rape and even murder. The rich got richer; the poor despaired.
  • My Feudal Lord. Tehmina Durrani. 1991

• I announced 'Jehad' - a movement to represent the silent majority to raise controversial issues that most people feel afraid to speak about. It liberated me from the corrupt politics that I had witnessed. I decided to stand apart and away from the mainstream of the rotting political system and the deficient and self-serving politicians that consumed our national wealth and exploited our people.
