Mukhtarran Mai, a rape victim of Mir Wala village in South Punjab said this on Friday while giving interview to BBC. Expressing grave concern over the President's statement, she said that President by issuing such statement degraded the sanctity of mothers, sisters and daughters of the country. Mukhtarran Mai further said that President is supposed to be a guardian of Pakistan and he must understand that no woman in Pakistan offers herself to sex hounds because most precious thing a women possesses is her honour and she would never let her honour to be tormented, she added. How could President think that Pakistani women could do this, she asked. Mukhtarraan Mai also told that the entire world supported her. She also expressed concern that she has no idea whether she will get justice or not. She further said that most rape victims commit suicide and asked whether women commit suicide for money, she asked. Commenting on this statement of President Musharraf that rape victims in Pakistan are awarded Canadian nationality and visa, Mukhtara Mai said' I was also offered to go abroad but I refused the said offer. She further added that when she (Mukhtara Mai) did not want to leave for abroad, then, any Pakistani woman can do so. End.
