Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday termed “honour killing” a blot on the society as he met Pakistan’s first Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy.
“Honour killing is a most critical issue and the Government is determined to adopt all possible ways and means for removing this stain from our society,” Sharif told Chinoy.
“Women are the most essential part of our society and I believe in their empowerment, protection and emancipation for achieving the shared goal of a prosperous and vibrant Pakistan,” Sharif said.
“Social evils can be overcome through an effective partnership between the Government and the civil society,” he said.
