The event was attended by prominent leaders from the Pakistani American community and distinguished individuals from various fields. Dr. Rao Kamran Ali, along with renowned attorney Saba Ahmed and eminent psychiatrist Dr. Furqan Rizvi, played a key role in hosting the event.
On this occasion, Congressional candidate Brandon Gill emphasized the importance of U.S.-Pakistan relations and expressed his commitment to increasing trade opportunities between the two countries if elected. He also shared his views on immigration and other policies, stating that his beliefs on social issues align with those of the Pakistani community, and that he holds the community in high regard.
Saba Ahmed, President of the PAKPAC Dallas Chapter, along with former PAKPAC President Dr. Haroon Siddiqui and Secretary Dr. Syed Naveed Hussain, also shared their thoughts during the event. It is noteworthy that Brandon Gill, a prominent Conservative Republican Party candidate and son-in-law of Trump’s close associate Dinesh D’Souza, won his primary election in Texas by a significant margin and is considered a strong contender for Congress. Election analyses suggest that Gill has over a 99% chance of winning, which has further bolstered his support.
