Dear Chief Justice..

Dear Chief Justice,

I'm one of the many people who stood for justice for Shahzeb Khan. I cannot tell you how glad I'm that you took notice of the case and issued a Suo moto. It's only because of you that we all believe Shahzeb Khan will get justice now.

Do you know there is a group of religious extremists who believe they will be rewarded with Jannat for killing Shias and they have claimed lives of countless shias? Do you know about the twin brothers who were gunned down in Liyari recently? Well few individuals did share their picture on facebook but there wasn't any page created. Also it didn't turn into a trend on twitter so how would you know. You know there have been silent peaceful protests against shia genocide as well but again media didn't really cover the event so how would you know. And all the Shia killings are out of the news in a day or two. How can one expect you to take notice when the crime is not even turned into a hype?

Religious extremism has claimed more lives than feudalism but if only you knew. Or maybe the intensity of the crime increases when it's prominent on social media. I'm not a shia but anyone can die in this city. I hope someone will make a facebook page and tweet about me if I get murdered so that you get to know and might take an action.

    Terror attacks on Shias and other places in Pakistan are carried out by Taliban extremists and the ones sharing the same ideology, we must fight against this ideology. Although due condolences to Shahzeb Khan, why do we just wake up to injustices when we are made to! I bet you on this had Shahzeb's case not been touched by social media, none would have known about him and his sorry departure.
