woman minister resigns

Provincial minister without a portfolio Nasreen Khethran tendered her resignation from the cabinet in protest against the assassination of the wife and daughter of MPA Mir Bakhtiar Dombki a few days ago. Addressing a press conference, Nasreen, wife of Sardar Abdul Rehman Khethran, said that there was no justification for her to retain the cabinet post when women were being killed by armed assailants. She said that law and order situation had deteriorated in Balochistan and incidents of violence were reported every now and then. Now Baloch women were being targeted and in such a situation it would be futile to remain in the cabinet, she said. The murder of the wife and daughter of Dombki is a condemnable act, she added
