The lawyer's funeral prayer was offered at Gaddafi Stadium and was attended by scores of men, women and children. The prayer was led by Mualana Haider Farooq Maududi and her daughters Sulema and Munizae were seen in the front row.
Thousands of women attend Asma Jahangir’s funeral in Lahore today, defying both religion & tradition. The last time it happened was on Sabeen Mehmood’s funeral. Asma’s daughters Sulema & Munizae remained with their mother’s body till the end. The prayer was led by Farooq Maududi. pic.twitter.com/MRefdVhUNC

Why is the Facebook page of the “official” #Pakistan army selection and criteria website https://t.co/fx63qR45XJ so annoyed women attended #AsmaJahangir ‘s funeral & offered prayers? Surely they must have other things to do than call upon the Supreme Court to take action on this? pic.twitter.com/dEb9EL5a1b

A befitting farewell to #AsmaJahangir - Thousands of women & men from all over came to show their love & respect - It was a peoples’ funeral...
It was just how she would have liked it.
It was however, very tough to say goodbye. pic.twitter.com/Ci5edDJ9kF

My eyes are seeing this heart-breaking but historic scenes; funeral of #AsmaJahangir and huge number of women at janazah-gah : This is the kind of religious and women freedom she fought for ! #ThankYouAsmaJahangir Though we wanted you more w/us #RestInPower #ChosenByGod

Asma Jahangir is getting something even more significant than a state funeral. Women will be present in large numbers to say goodbye to her. This is more fitting than a 21 gun salute.

The pictures coming out from Asma Jahangir's funeral are so beautiful and radical. What a fitting tribute to a progressive feminist icon to have women and men pray side by side in public, rather than the patriarchal apartheid imposed in public and religious spaces in our country. https://t.co/yO1xj1iqM9

In Pakistan, culture prohibits women from attending funerals, although Islam does not.
Yesterday at Asma Jahangir's funeral, women attended in large numbers. Her daughters stood at the front.
You brought in the revolution. Now rest in peace AND power. #AsmaJahangirRIP pic.twitter.com/HO46e1JRc7
