Opposition members in the Pakistan Senate on Monday showed concern about the alleged disrespect with which the mortal remains of Baloch rights activist Karima Baloch were treated before she was laid to rest in Balochistan, as per Dawn s report.
Karima s brother Sameer Mehrab took to Twitter on Monday and said, Pakistan’s army thought it was humiliating us today when it ordered our women, instead of men, to carry Karima’s coffin to the grave. But I’m glad it was the women. It’s symbolic. Karima struggled all her life for women’s empowerment. She would have been proud.
