Meanwhile, the Pakistan’s Ulema Council condemned the mother’s statement as contrary to the constitution of the Koran, Sunnah and Pakistan, accusing her of complicity in the crime.

The religious body also emphasized that the parents involved in the murder must also be responsible, regardless of social or tribal customs, and urged the complete investigation and legal actions in accordance with the law.
