LAHORE, Jun 06 (APP): Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has reiterated her unwavering commitment to the protection of women and children, declaring: “Women and children are my red line.”
Acting swiftly on the Chief Minister’s instructions, police arrested two brothers, Amir and Asim, within hours of their alleged involvement in the murder of their sister, Kanwal Bashir.
