"I don’t think my orientation has changed. I am still a contemporary writer. Sometimes, I veer into feminism –the concern of women and children, not really feminism, because I have a brand of feminism I call Beside Feminism."
"Establishing a school is a wonderful initiative as it offers the inmates opportunities of living a better life when released into society"
"So feminism means work to maintain a good family; live for your family; live for your husband; let your ideas match that of your husband; move beside your husband and be one in decision and in unison. Any other thing is not feminism."
"In our contemporary society, we say behind a very successful man there is a woman, but I don’t think it is right to place your wife or woman behind you."
"I believe I have something to offer to ANA. I have a great contribution to make to ANA. It doesn’t matter how many times I will be contesting; the most important thing is that there is something I want to give to ANA, and that I really want to achieve."
"What your administration is doing at the center is wonderful because society is dependent on it. She said if the people coming into the center-left exactly how they were when they came to the center, society would suffer the consequences"
