(PCP) The Joint Sitting of the Parliament unanimously passed Anti-Rape and Anti-Honour Killing Bills to give maximum punishment to the perpetrators of heinous crime, and continued debate on the burning issue of Kashmir on Thursday, says Free and Fair Election Network (FAFEN). The Anti-Honor Killing Bill comes in force after a week when Muslim brother kills his sister on marrying a Christian man who even converted to Islam for this marriage in slum area of Lahore.
