The insane murder of late Salman Taseer was not enough of a shameful surprise this week. There was more in store for all of us. The blood of the slain leader had barely dried and there came an edict from 500 or so clerics advising people not to show remorse or sorrow for the departed soul. People were advised not to attend the funeral of Mr. [...]

Note: This post highlights the fact that Islam is far from monolithic and while there are those who are issuing Fatwas that result in the murder of Governor Taseer, there are also those who have huge problems with such hideous and medieval savagery. This highlights the heterogeneity within Islam which is composed of numerous sects and [...]

The tragic murder of Governor Punjab Salmaan Taseer by his own security guard in Islamabad is the most high-profile assassination in the country since the killing of the Pakistan People’s Party chairperson Benazir Bhutto in December 2007. Both Benzir Bhutto and Taseer ultimately paid a heavy price for their straightforwardness and liberal [...]

Punjab Governor, Salman Taseer, was assassinated yesterday (January 4) by one of his security guards. The guard, who soon gave himself up to the police, proudly claimed that he killed the late Governor because Taseer had described the controversial blasphemy law as a ‘black law.’ Shocked? Well, about time. Governor Taseer’s murder is [...]

While the Deoband and Barelvi leaders appear to be on the same page when it comes to condemning the slain [...]

I am ashamed of being a Pakistani today. I still remember the day a foreign firm that I worked with online for 2 years offered me to join their office at Warsaw. They were willing to increase my pay and bear my travel expenses. I decided not to go as I thought if I remain in my country I will create jobs for my fellow country men and would [...]

One by one, extremists are silencing every sane voice in Pakistani society. The cold blooded murder of Salman Taseer is another warning for people who are harbingers of sanity and tolerance and crude reminders for them that they are not welcome in this land of fundamentalists and extremists. I was astonished at the hypocrisy of people when [...]

Salman Taseer’s murder highlights nothing but the small-mindedness of a microscopic faction of extremists who do not value justice. It is, in all earnest, an assault on the integrity of the Islamic faith. As I write this post, I am constantly distracted by the footage on my television screen. I suspect that a crippling sense of mortification [...]

Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer has said Pakistan's Blasphemy Law is man-made and not God-given, and that his meeting with blasphemy accused Pak-Christian woman- Aasia Bibi- is being politicised, a private TV channel reported.

Some important points: 1. Ahmed Ludhianvi accuses 25 PPP MNAs including Qamar Zaman Kaira, Faisal Karim Kundi and Jamshed Dasti of taking the support of Sipah-e-Sahaba in their election campaigns. According to him, there is an equally long list of PML-Q and PML-N politicians who have accepted support from Sipah-e-Sahaba. 2. Ahmed Ludhianvi [...]

Salman Taseer, Governor of Punjab, is on Twitter for the last few weeks. His tweeting style has been described as candid and uncanny. For example, Taseer does not shy away from making frank comments about his opposition in Punjab, i.e., the Sharif brothers. Taseer often uses twitter to update about his activities or views; and frankly speaks what [...]

Last night Abid Sher Ali MNA from PML-N had used slanderous language against Governor Salman Taseer in the presence of Fauzia Wahab MNA and Information Secretary PPP at a TV talk show ‘Off the record’ hosted by Kashif Abbasi.  It was a moment of shame for whole nation that we have such illiterate politicians in our country who don’t feel [...]

Punjab Governor Salman Taseer is consistently showing  his concern on the rapid progress of Sipah Sahaba under the patronage PML-N punjab provincial government. Recently I observed Maulana Ahmed Ludhinvi banners all over Gujrawala city which was quite alarming for me . We need to support Salman Taseer for raising his voice over SSP and [...]

The pattern of by-elections in Jhang and PML-N's alliance with Sipah-e-Sahaba is a worrisome development. However, this is not the first time that PML-N has established alliances with terrorist organisations.

The constitutional head of the largest province of Pakistan Mr Salman Taseer never hides any feeding frenzy when it comes to unreasonably rag the Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif. And, he did not even spare any second to create panicky on the dead issue of Basant. As the Basant date is nearing, the frightened parents of Lahore or anywhere else [...]

Apparently, a very valid question, and according to Justice (retired) Fakhruddin G. Ebrahim, the real bone of contention. Thus, there are valid reasons for us to scratch this issue a bit further. If one is to believe Senior Adviser to Shahbaz Sharif, Sardar Zulfiqar Ali Khan Khosa of PML-N, Governor Slman Taseer is responsible for hindering [...]
