This week began with a sad news when on Monday Lahore High Court acquitted the man accused in 24-year-old Khadija Siddiqui’s stabbing case, a year after a judicial magistrate had sentenced him to seven years in prison.
Nation stood up for it’s daughter and everyone from common people to celebrities demanded justice for Khadija. Celebrities including Mahira Khan, Mawra Hocane, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Jibran Nasir and others have come forward to support Khadija and called for unity against the horrific crime.
Mahira Khan
And if it is the game of power, then so be it. Because there is nothing more powerful than when people come together united for a cause against those in power. We are with you @khadeeeej751 #justiceforkhadija

WHAT THE HELL? I am hearing that attacker of #KhadijaSiddiqi who stabbed her 24 times has been acquitted by Lahore High Court???? If this is true, then we must all unite & be Khadija's voice & leave no stone unturned to get her justice against this barbarian! #WeAreWithKhadija pic.twitter.com/BimkvEK8Z5

Attacker of #KhadijaSiddiqi who stabbed her 24 times has been acquitted by Lahore High Court. Is this what our justice system has come down to. First under CJP Nisar's general order security was withdrawn from @khadeeeej751 and now her attacker has been set free. Shame pic.twitter.com/L4lAzlVacz

High court decision in #KhadijaSiddiqi Case is ridiculous. It’s outright biased/unfair verdict. Is stabbing someone 23 times not enough to amount for a punishment or is it power over justice ? #KhadijaSiddiqiCase #westandwithKhadija

I cannot believe Shah Hussain – who, to recap, stabbed his classmate Khadija 23 times in May 2016 – has been acquitted. Khadija is right: justice butchered. I'm so sorry this country failed you. https://t.co/neK3lV7cpg

A seven-year sentence for attempted murder – reduced to five years – reduced to nothing. This is how we value a woman seeking justice with proof (multiple eye-witnesses, DNA match) – the message is loud and clear. She is reduced to nothing. #JusticeForKhadija

'Khadija Siddiqui ke saath jo aaj hua hai woh Pakistan ke liye sharmindagi ki baat hai. Us bachi ki himmat to qaim hai, kisi aur ki himmat na toot jaye. Khudaara, adalaton ka notice lijiye.' – Jibran Nasir.
Hon. CJP Saqib Nisar, are you listening? #JusticeForKhadija https://t.co/Z46YyAq6hO— Osman Khalid Butt (@aClockworkObi) June 4, 2018

Shah Hussain, who was found guilty last year of brutally stabbing @khadeeeej751 23 times, has just been acquitted by the Lahore High Court. Shameful day for Pakistan. Please support her and her lawyer @HniaziISF as they continue this fight.#WeareWithKhadija #JusticeForKhadija pic.twitter.com/4ubzCgz3Py

Will put you in jail for double sawari but stab someone 23 times and you can go home with daddy #PakistanLaw #JusticeForKhadija #WeareWithKhadija

The accused, Shah Hussain, who is the son of lawyer Tanvir Hashmi, was arrested and shifted to jail last year for allegedly stabbing Khadija in 2016.
Khadija, a law student, petitioned the court that Shah had stabbed her 23 times.
In new developments Chief Justice has taken notice of this case will be hearing this case on June 10th.
Have anything to add?
