Qandeel Baloch's death, a possible honour killing by her brother today in Multan, has enraged the twitteres, who are now slamming the "narrow mind-set of the society."

"I think I should start reading Quran because I wanna know where they've written that killing in its name is permissible. #QandeelBaloch," wrote one.

"This damn thing 'honor killing' has nothing to do with Islam . It is a social behavior. It must be confronted socially . #QandeelBaloch," said another.

"People are too quick to judge. Regardless of her way of living she shouldn't have been murdered. Every human life matters. #QandeelBaloch," wrote the third.

"No matter how much everyone hated her, she was still human.Killing of a human is never justified.#RIP #QandeelBaloch," tweeted the fourth.

"Mentality behind #QandeelBaloch scene is actually mentality of #Pakistan. this is us. We fail to progress just because of "religious issues"" tweeted the other.

"A lot of people In India disapprove of Poonam Pandey, Rakhi Sawant & Mallika Sherawat but we don't go around killing them :) #QandeelBaloch," said another.

Many more have taken to their handles to seek justice for the deceased soul, who has always claimed to be a rebel against the on-going social norms.

Even in her last post and supposed last interview, the internet star mentioned clearly that her sole-motive is to fight against the male dominated society and societal norms.
