I met her and had a long convention with her once while she and Nawaz were seated next to me on a flight to London. She was a soft spoken, cultured and elegant lady. May she rest in peace #KulsoomNawaz

Someone has died for heavens sake, even animals show some respect to their dead. this is no time to settle scores either way, let’s just say a prayer for the lady and if that’s too much to ask then please just stay quiet. #KulsoomNawaz

No matter what someone has done, the passing of your wife and your mother while you are in jail is not a laughing matter nor is it something to be celebrated. Hoping the trolls will spare #KulsoomNawaz at least in her death.

#KulsoomNawaz Absolutely disgusting how some people r using Kulsoom bibis death to gain sympathy for Nawaz & Maryam & trying to portray them as tragic heroes. Shameful… Utterly shameful & disgusting. May Allah have mercy on Kulsoom bibi's soul & may Allah give us some decency.
