3 years after Qandeel Baloch was ruthlessly killed by her own brother in the name of honor, the parents made a heart breaking revelation of forgiving their son by presenting a signed affidavit in court pardoning their son.

However, the Multan court has rejected their plea and the case continues. The internet too was shocked at the plea initially but is now proud of the decision of the court to reject the plea:
EXCELLENT decision! #QandeelBaloch https://t.co/gKuAQArilN

People were lauding the court for taking a step in the right direction:
Finally, a step in the right direction by the Supreme Court. Maybe confront the bull by its ugly horns and address practices like honor killings and Karo Kari once and for all. #QandeelBaloch

People are calling it a bright day today!
A bright day for Pakistan. The court rejected plea of #QandeelBaloch’s parents to forgive her brother and her murderer, who killed #QandeelBaloch in name of “honour”.

People urged that the criminals should be tried and punished:
Court just set an example saying no to this pardoning shit. Criminal should be tried and punished. #noHonorinKilling #QandeelBaloch https://t.co/ErQaDIQe98

People shared how justice was still not served after 3 years:
3 years later and #QandeelBaloch never got justice. How sad and disgusting is that. The system is so fucked. I really have no words.

Some went completely out of context:
Landay k liberal Hazaron zinda kashmiri orton or bachon ko chor ker aik mari hui #QandeelBaloch ko insaf dene per lagy huwe hwn. 😐#KashmirStillUnderCurfew
