After being detained for months, Khadija Shah, a fashion designer and supporter of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has resumed her professional responsibilities.
Last month, an anti-terrorism court in Quetta granted her bail in a case related to the May 9 riots. She surrendered to Punjab police in Lahore on May 23 last year. And the designer spent months behind bars amid allegations of her alleged involvement in fueling the violent May 9 protests.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, the prominent creative designer announced that she has formally rejoined her work with a poster that said: "Our creative Director Khadijah Shah is back: Elan Reignites."
The post has a long welcome note from her as the caption. She says: "I am eternally grateful to our Pakistani followers for their unmitigated support and love. I believe it was the power of your collective prayers that brought me home, and I am certain of that."
"Now, I am back with more zeal, passion, and creativity than ever before. I am thrilled to assume my position at the helm of Elan and Zaha. Together, we are poised to write a new chapter of rejuvenation, creativity, and cutting-edge ideas and design."
She added, "Pakistan has always been, and always will be, my first and foremost love. I am committed to continuing to serve and strive for my country and its people. My goal has always been to make Pakistan proud through my endeavours, and I am determined to carry on that journey. With your ongoing support and blessings, inshallah, we will achieve great things and produce our best work yet."
Who is Khadijah Shah?
The daughter of former federal and Punjab cabinet member Salman Shah, she has connections to the May 9 protests, which resulted in the arrests of thousands of PTI workers and supporters nationwide, prompting several leaders to sever ties with the party over the May 9 events.
