Dear Media, there is no such thing as ‘Ghairat kay naam pay Qatal’. Even the sentence is derogatory. #QandeelBaloch

A friend in media believes our news channels are equally culprit in #QandeelBaloch‘s murder. I wish I could deny!

Media who published her husband and son’s pics – are also responsible for her killing. You have also provoked her murder #QandeelBaloch
