There might be a international hand in this and current political issues
as we all know from where MQM, Molana Desiel takes orders...

Basically it seems to create a greater mess in current political issues and making sure the PML(N) and PPP stay apart ......

I see international hands in current issues..

RIP...

Insensitive or hurtful posts will not be tolerated, remain within bounds of decency and humility.

You either condemn or convey your condolences on this topic.

I understand what you mean by what you are saying, as it is no way acceptable to celebrate some ones death. But also you had made a point where you had said that it could be due to his defense of the christian woman. Well as of now no one knows, what had happen. So no one can exactly claim what was the real reason behind him getting shot. The fact that he supported that lady could be one of them, there is a strong possibility, but could that be it. I guess not.

It was two uniformed men who attacked him, the reason, his support for an innocent Christian lady called Asia.

I cant beleive this.

Wait for a while..
Pretty soon our Mullah's...and ever present "revivalists"..will turn the Killer into another "ghazi" Ilm deen..
