Mohammad Nafees | 6 years ago | Reply Like always, Sabir Nazar has shown his excellence in touching upon our socio-political issues in his cartoon. Only one point I want to make here. Instead of showing a sword in the hand of Asma Jahangir, a hammer used in the court should have been more appropriate because sword is a symbol of war and killing and Asma has never supported such deeds.
