Ali Raza Abidi's death has once again highlighted one of the ugliest face of our society, the fact we have lost all moral , humane code of conduct and do not even let go of any occasion to slander our opponent even if it involves launching barrage of abuse.
Ali Raza Abidi ex-MNA was murdered in the city of lights, right at the doorstep of his house. Most sane people, parties, celebrities condemned and sent their condolences over this act of savagery but there was one faction that did not condemn but instead praised his demise.
What kind of mental state one has to be in to enjoy or to say that murder of an harmless,soft spoken politician who was never seen abusing or mistreating even his opponents. A soft spoken guy who belonged to MQM and worked for the amelioration of the society he was part of.
As a society there is a constant disconnect of empathy and lack of humane feelings, the amount of killings we see on TV or hear about on daily basis it appears we have developed some kind of strange fetish where we enjoy the death, especially if it's of our rival.
Biggest casualty of social media trends of Pakistan is always the decency.
The lack of educated dialogue is shocking or should I say it was shocking initially but now I'm pretty much can predict what event is going to bring about what kind of "hashtag".Such societies only get further drawn into violence and the culture of healthy debates die eventually.
A nation who idolizes pseudo self righteous clowns like Hamza Ali Abbasi and Amir Liaquat really has no hope. A very bad precedent has been set by our celebrities / prominent leaders mainly calling themselves as torch bearers of a "Change".
It seems as though we have forgotten that death is something all of us have to experience and surely none of us would want such social media campaign to be launched against our dead ones.Least we can do is let them grieve in peace, this is very least one deserves as human being.

I hope someday this country turns into a garden instead of a pricked barren desert where there is no room for dissent and anyone having different opinion to the one "approved" by the government is either labelled as traitor or Kaafir.
