Over 111 lives lost in #Mastung earlier but the only news currently being reported is that of a pair of convicted criminals landing in Lahore!

Today we witnessed thousands of people on the roads protesting in Lahore. The ones who protested on the other side lay there without a voice, lifeless and with no media coverage. Such is the disparity of our media!#Mastung

Such concern and empathy from the people of Pakistan over a large number of lives being ruthlessly taken away is heartwarming to say the least. Gives you such high hopes for the future of this country, doesn’t it?
