Chief Minister Balochistan Sarfaraz Bugti said that the couple killed in a recent honor killing incident in Degari, were not married, indirectly justifying their killing. Addressing a press conference, Bugti stated that the facts need to be mentioned clearly, rejecting victim-blaming following the horrific incident. He revealed that the female victim was a married woman with five children. Condemning the act as “murder and barbarity,” Bugti expressed solidarity with the victims and assured that the government stands with the oppressed.
