  1. There is a difference between condoling and attending the funeral. I was surprised by the lack of Govt. participation at the funeral. How many ministers were present? Who represnted the Govt. in official capacity and none of the other talk big head of political parties were present. Even in her death this courageous lady has exposed the hypocracy in our soceity. RIP ASMA.
