Biggest Funeral in the history of Pakistan. Mumtaz Qadri – loved and valued by the people. Free media of Pakistan didn’t cover a bit, how “free” is that? It is free to show foreign agenda but fails to show people of this country?
Perhaps it is not people’s media but media for higher bidder (who also gives it a certificate of free media). There is a sizeable population who won’t agree with Qadri’s method but love to join the funeral and pray in his favour (for obvious bonding of love and respect for his emotion).

If government would have done their job there won’t be a vigilante or this big funeral to deal with. Government can’t say his methods were wrong because government was wrong first by not tiring governor of such remarks in courts (and then the court would have punished the governor for speaking against the law in public instead of questioning it through system i.e., in court).
Vigilantes are born when governments fail to do their job. He was a vigilante and now government/establishment shall change their methods of dealing with vigilantes by providing justice in time (but the question is, can people trust them when they freed Raymond Davis, don’t try known powerful and rich criminals).

It is certainly not justice, but selective use of legal system to penalize a certain idea. Justice is either done in full or not at all justice. If a poor person is tried is and rich is neglected, this can be anything but justice.
