#AsmaJahangir was one of the greatest human rights activist, and towering legal minds this country has ever produced. She took the martial law of Yahya Khan to court at the age of 18 after her father was detained, she took to street protests against the regime of General Zia— Hasan Saeed (@HasanSaeed6) February 11, 2018
Most
of them are remembering her as a committed and loyal supporter of democratic values in the country and a
signal of hope for the liberalist mindset in the country.
Today it's not only Pakistan who will cry. The entire South Asia shall mourn #AsmaJahangir. This is a loss of not only Pakistan. She shook up the conscience of the world.— Marvi Sirmed (@marvisirmed) February 11, 2018

#AsmaJahangir's death is the loss for every brave voice in Pakistan. We are all poorer today. Weaker. May we have more women like her who stand their ground, who speak loud and clear against oppressors. Rest in power. pic.twitter.com/1lwh83l2ke— Mahwash Ajaz (@mahwashajaz_) February 11, 2018

Sickening dirt is being spilled against the lady of honor.

Daughter of a traitor who helped RAW to break East Pakistan & was for that she was awarded a medal in Bangladesh...
All her life, she fought against Islam, Pakistan & Pak army...
Good riddance.... pic.twitter.com/R6OSXyQez9
Not just that, her work as lawyer is also being challenged. She
is being accused as she did it all for money.

Good riddance , burden which was needless on earth removed!
It is a lesson to all sold out Beghrat of her like that no Money will avert your natural death .
Still time , improve your aakhirat. pic.twitter.com/iU9P9dz7JC
Not the first & certainly not the only one. Countless so-called PTI supporters are coming out of their ratholes to ooze out their petty mentality over such a tragic incident. At least spare the deceased, you dimwits! #AsmaJahangir pic.twitter.com/FR9Ea5YGvt— Farwa T. Cheema (@FarwaTCheema) February 11, 2018
These disgusting reactions shows that our country is still far
away from the stage where difference of opinion is respected.
Teri to maa mer gai ha.— Neelam raza (@neelam_raza) February 11, 2018
Be assured....#Pakistan isnt crying— Amجad Mahمood (@Flyingtastic) February 11, 2018
Being happy on the death of someone just because she thought differently is not okay.
Asma Jahangir had years of experience and a story of Hard Work and Struggle. She was supporter of voices against brutality in the country. She was a hope for those fighting for their rights in the country. Of course, everyone is not bound to agree with her thought but that does not take away her right to express them nor does it prove anything about her loyalty to the nation.
We have to
learn to respect people and their opinions, specially when they are not causing
any harm to anyone.
