An exemplary case
At a time when we have seen cases in which people are accused of killing their mothers, brothers and sisters for "inappropriate" and "illegitimate" acts, this story is an exemplary case in point. Steps like this are rarely taken in our society. But the way in which people have showered love shows that society is changing nowadays.

With this gesture, we will definitely think twice before calling Pakistani men "conservative". The news would definitely help us change our mindset.
Cheers to the man for his brave and inspiring step!
