Addressing the meeting, the Chief Minister said that hundred percent facts-based investigations should be ensured on the issue of Kasur incident. JIT is working in a professional manner and there should be no room for any mistake or negligence in its investigations.

Cruelty with Zainab in Kasur is a matter of concern for the whole nation and every person should fulfill its social responsibility to curb such happenings in future. JIT should be approached if anybody has clues about Zainab murder case.
