New Delhi, August 25
Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda today denied that khap panchayats had any role in the increasing number of honour killings being witnessed in the state. Expressing his views before the nine-member Group of Ministers (GOM) which met here this evening, Hooda did not agree with the move to bring a law on honour killings and asked the Centre to exercise extreme caution while handling social reform. Describing honour killings as a “social evil,” he said the present laws were sufficient to deal with these incidents, which were essentially cases of murder.
