| | | | | Re: Honour killings have become commonplace in Punjab. Wheres the HONOUR in MURDER ?? Its a misnomer and an attempt to whitewash a CRIME by painting it white. IN GURMATT there is absolutely no excuse for this..its MURDER and should be punished as such. period. The day we begin to condone  murderers as Honourable...will be the DAY !! | | The following members appreciate Gyani Jarnail Singh Ji for the above message. | |
