It petrifies you to speak up or hold anyone in power accountable, especially those holding offices to serve the public. If the intent was to instill terror and fear, the job has been done. Heart goes out to his family.

Twitterati agreed with her sentiments and some others advised her to not be afraid.
We people are oppressed .
I used to be the person who was a true patriot and even had the dreams to serve the Pakistan Army.
But then unfortunately, I found out that no ruler of this country is sincere with us .
I am glad to be a Muslim but not grateful to be a Pakistani .— $aim (@S200510s) November 10, 2022
Seems like they are getting ready to play with us on a whole different level.
Every day there is a new twist and this release of #ArshadSharifShaheed photos and news is utterly disgusting.
Something worse is coming.

One must never succumb to terror & fear when faced with choosing between truth & falsehood. Those behind this heinous plot r one of the most cowards on the planet. And a coward has never lived a life. So rejoice in the fact that their fates are sealed. I pity on them.
