Sara Taseer, daughter of slain PPP leader Salman Taseer, self described 'liberal' and 'poetic', has put down the women of Balochistan saying she wouldn't trust them to decide her menu, let alone the future of the country.

Here's her noxious tweet as a great example of the kind of toxic attitude towards our fellow Pakistanis that we should shun and avoid.

Need we add that these women braved considerable security risks to fulfill their civic duty while Ms Taseer was demeaning their contribution from abroad?
