@Farooq: Rightly said brother i gives me and other shias of pakistan heart to see people like you.
This lawyer was handlig the case of Ghulam Raza Naqvi for the last 14 years! In the landof tje pure, purity increased by one more number for the Wahabis. Thats why terrorists are set free by courts: no evidence found because all witnesses either are killed by "unknown" assailant or they simply disappear. Shame on judiciary. shame on government amd shame on the army and agencies for creating this mess.
Why has it become a fashion , that for every thing going wrong in our country we blame Chief Justice ? Now was CJ responsible for providing security to the deceased (May Allah rest his soul in peace) ? Also how is he responsible to find the killers ? CJ's or judiciary's role is to give judgement based on the facts which come to their table (post investigation).
@Jut: @khalid: @Kaleem: Then why he took notice of such incidents there should be a criteria on basis of which SC will get involved.Justice should be served across the board without favoritism towards region , sect and community.Is shia blood in this country too cheap.

Hope reply will serve the intended purpose.
Chief Justice will only take notice of popular matter . He is not chief of justice he is cheif of popular politics And who really cares about shia genocide ( well other than the community under threat)
@Lord: CJ is not responsible for maintaining law and order, it's the elected government.
show my reply plz
Shia genocide will continue nationwide and the accused will be freed by our free and fair judiciary on lack of evidence.
Please stop blaming the CJ...he has already done enough and doing it, its the government of the day who should be taking action, you can not expect the judiciary do the job of the government which is a complete failure...courts can only pass judgements, the executive and the government have to implement them.
How come all Shia lawyers are being targeted...I guess that should be enough to understand Shia genocide taking place in this country!
Can all the Honourable courts take notice of this sad incidence.please
@Lord, Ensuring Law and order is prime responsibility of elected govts, they are not elected to enjoy protocols only.
@Lord: Trolls at their best !!
And the Genocide continues and CJ is asleep he can only see Lal Masjid's case.Now you will justify it with drone attacks?
