Saida Walsi

Saida Walsi played multiple roles as a lawyer, businessman, activist, and cabinet minister, but her most famous role was the first Muslim cabinet minister in the UK. In August 2014, she resigned from the government due to its unethical policies towards Gaza. Saida was born in a Pakistani immigrant family in Disbury, West Yorkshire. There are five sisters in the family. She studied law at the University of Leeds and worked at the Royal Prosecutors' Office before practicing free law. Saida's father used to be a mill worker and bus driver, but later established his own business. He instilled in Saida the values of freedom, responsibility, and ambition. These values sparked her passion for joining the Conservative Party and helped her become an advisor to Conservative Vice Chairman and leader Michael Howard in 2004. The following year, she ran for parliament in her hometown. In 2007, at the age of 36, she entered the House of Lords and became the youngest member of parliament. At the end of the same year, she traveled to Sudan and helped secure the release of British teacher Gillian Gibbons, who was accused of insulting the prophet. For many years, Saida has been a radical fighter fighting for justice, playing an important role in the Operation Black Vote campaign for black voters. She worked at the Joseph Langley Charity Trust for six years before being selected to participate in Nick Griffin on Question Time in 2009, marking the first time a National Party leader appeared on the BBC's flagship political program. The Observer newspaper gave the following evaluations of her unique performance: sharp views, clear expression, enthusiasm without losing reason. In 2010, she was appointed as the Minister of Foreign Affairs by Prime Minister David Cameron, making her the first Muslim Cabinet Minister in the UK. Her iconic image on the 10th step of Downing Street, dressed in traditional saris and traditional Pakistani clothing, has been widely spread around the world. She was also appointed as the Chairman of the Conservative Party, the first Asian to serve as a leader of a major political party in the UK. In 2012, Saida was appointed as the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs and Minister of Religion and Community in the UK. She is committed to defending her beliefs in the government. In a speech to the Episcopal Council in 2010, she proposed that the government should be God. In 2012, she led the largest ministerial delegation in British history to the Vatican to deliver a speech calling for Europe to strengthen its Christian identity, winning global coverage. Faced with the problems that most people try to avoid, she is outspoken and faces challenges, becoming an interesting and unique voice for discussing taboo topics. She led a government campaign to legalize forced marriage and openly discussed child gang sexual behavior. Her business background and passion for manufacturing make her an excellent representative of British companies both domestically and internationally. She participated in the establishment of three startups, one in the service industry and two in the manufacturing industry, all of which have successfully developed into vibrant small and medium-sized enterprises in the UK. She led the government to ensure that the UK became the first Western country to issue Islamic bonds in 2014. She also serves as the Chairman of the Global Islamic Finance and Investment Group. Say
