Mansha, on the other hand, wrote, "Mashal Khan's death reminds us of things that remain always true: That voices of reason are often met with loud and violent dissent. That some will justify violence by twisting ur words against you. And that you will be the one to live on, long after they are gone."

Mashals Khans death reminds us of things that remain always true:
