Twitter Alert: Demise of a political stalwart

With the death of one of Pakistan’s biggest political stalwart, Pir Pagara, the twitter world was abuzz, despite the late hour.

While most tweeted condoling tweets, some were quick to point out the political vacuum and the battle for succession which is now likely to engulf the bereaved family.

Here is what the Twitterati had to say about the spiritual leader of the Hur Jamaat:

Karachi Race Club will always miss Pir Pagara

The Pir is dead. Long live the Pir.

So will Raja Sain be the next Pir Pagara?

To Him we belong and to Him we shall return. Pir Pagara Shah Mardan Shah II passed away in London today.

Hate to move on so fast, but the political fallout of Pir Pagara's death will be interesting. Now that he's gone, who takes over PML-F?

R.I.P Azeem Khan Daultana & Pir Pagara. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un

Pir Pagara RIP >One must not speak ill of the dead, but what about a judicious assessment? >Pakistan has no tradition of the obituary

RIP Pir Pagara - always wanted to learn more about you!
