Benazir Bhutto was the first female muslim woman head of a democratically elected government. During the second government of Benazir Bhutto (1993-1996) Fazl, the head of his own fundamentalist Islamic party, along with other parties, began to argue that it is was not allowed for a woman to head the government, but after he was appointed as to chair a committee in the National Assembly, he ceased raising the issue of whether a woman could serve as head of the government. This lead to the wildly held view that his change in attitude was a direct result of the appointment. Addition he was awarded a huge quota for Diesel fuel, which earned him the nickname of 'Maulana Diesel'
