KARACHI:
January 10 marked one of the deadliest days in the history of Balochistan as 100 people were killed in three blasts.
Among the dead was Irfan Khudi Ali a peace activist.
Social media users, after hearing the news of his death, paid tribute to his work, activism and resolved to take his mission of religious tolerance forward.
Below are few of the updates on twitter and facebook:
The Second Floor: Last year, PeaceNiche curated the Social Media Mela held in July 2012. One of the sessions was "Connecting with the World In Their Own Voice: Bridging the Mainstream Media Gap". Irfan Khudi Ali joined us as a panellist to discuss the power and potential of social media to combat human rights abuse and persecution. He was brave, outspoken, and fearless. We have just learned that Irfan has been killed in the Quetta bomb blasts. RIP, dear Irfan. It was an honour to have met you.
Pakistan Youth Alliance: Irfan protesting in Islamabad against religious extremism. May his soul rest in eternal peace and his words inspire us to fight extremism.
Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly mentioned that Imran was a cameraman for Samaa. The error is regretted.

Jis dhaj se koi maqtal main gaya wo shan salamat rahti hai,
Ye jan to ani jani hai is jan ki to koi baat nahin
