ISLAMABAD: The last messages of the assassinated Governor Punjab, Salmaan Taseer, on his Twitter page show he was ready to die for his stand on the blasphemy law. One of the messages says, “Mullah backlash attacking my stance (on blasphemy law), demanding my resignation; Rakhte Dil bandh lo Dil fagaro chalo; Phir hameen qatl ho ayen Yaro chalo.”
At another point, Taseer wrote: “I was under huge pressure to bow down before rightist pressure on blasphemy. Refused. Even if I’m the last man standing.” In an interview, Salmaan Taseer said, “The extremists are giving me threats, they are using name of Islam, they want to bring their own brand of Islam but I don’t give a damn.”
The cyberspace used by Salmaan Taseer shows how candid and open he was while expressing his views on any topic, ranging from politics to day-to-day activities. Taseer was an active user of Twitter and his followers on Twitter often used to get amused with his frank comments that he used to post on a daily basis. Whether it was politics, governorship, the blasphemy laws or the Punjab government, Taseer was always outspoken.
The policeman who killed governor Punjab, in a statement to the media, claimed that Salmaan Taseer had committed blasphemy and that was why he gunned down Taseer. There is not a single evidence of blasphemy committed by Salmaan Taseer. Yes, Taseer had his views on the blasphemy law and its misuse.
His last message says, “President Zardari’s total support of PM has once again silenced rumours of split in the PPP top leadership. Govt is here till 2013.” On Tuesday morning, Taseer even wrote a few poetry verses: “Mera azm itna bulund hae Parae sholon se dar nahin. Mujhe dar hae tu atish e gul se hae Ye kahin chaman ko jala na dein. Significant?”
On the current political situation, Taseer wrote: “Before non parliamentary actors were derailing democratic process now parliamentarians like Sheikh Chilli are cutting the tree they are sitting on”.
On the current WikiLeaks disclosures, Taseer spoke an unusual truth of Pakistani politics and mentioned that elected persons, having people’s mandate, do not run Pakistan. He even did not spare the ‘establishment’, saying they had declared the Ghaffar Khan family as rebels, then how come Asfandyar Wali has become good enough to be a President.
“Of Traditional 3 As of political success — Allah, Army America — it seems only Allah has been forgotten by Pakistani politicians”. He then introduced three new As and wrote, “The NEW 3 As of political success in the correct order of priority 1.America 2. Arabs 3. Army”.
When most parts of the country were inundated with floods Taseer spoke his heart out and said that Kalabagh Dam was a necessity. “Kalabagh Dam would have helped prevent flooding”.
Out of his 10 tweets, Taseer discussed the ‘governance style’ of Sharif brothers in almost six of his comments, not stopping short of satire and making fun of the Sharif brothers. He posted a joke last month, which says, “Good 2 see ex-PM Nawaz Sharif at the President’s banquet. He studies the menu intensely for 20 mins. Bearer told me it was upside down.”
Due to his openness, his followers were rapidly growing on twitter as in August 2010 some 2,710 people were followers of Taseer while in December 2010 his followers had grown by more than double. On his death, twitter shows 5,667 people were Taseer’s followers.

Taseer was brave and ready to die...
For god sake...atleast we should not project such people....they r the real hypocrites and will b buried in the depth of hell...the man who spent his whole life plunged in wine,wealth and woman..u r making him a nation,s hero,a hero of islamic republic of pakistan...everyone should keep this thing in mind..the punishment of blashphemy is death..and this not my law .this is a divine law and no body in this universe in authorized to change in it...whatever we r but atleast we should b clear about our religion..

Can you differentiate blasphemy and blasphemy laws (295_C) sensibly?

I am totally agree with you imbindas.
There are many people die daily.But they our politicians ignore them. Now ask from the people who are common they take no action against the murder.
Read the article of Javaid Chaudry

Politicians must become famous and good for these people.
What if budget come and change in government, 18 amendment, 19 amendment etc come they have no effect in their lives.
Today is holiday. and we are going back day by day.What the government is doing. PPP members did strike last day. Are we educated?
The person who are doing strike and PPP Members giving comments about this they are just showing that we belong to PPP. But in real no one remember Salam after few days. May be some members abuse him.
So many people die every day even good people than Salman.
Our biggest fault is hybrid nature. SO we have to change.

Dear drvalentino this is our biggest fault as well we are not sure about our religion. we do not know well about Islam and their laws

Dude, he has been assassinated on the name of religion.No one can be licensed to kill any body if other person belongs to other school of thought. This is a civilised era not a stone age.

We are a crowd not nation,crowd of 170 million people,the bomb we planted in the foundations of Pakistan is showing his result.Now we have to face the music,these mullahs will kill any body on the basis of religion.Sectarian violence is the best example that we saw in early 90's and in early Musharraf era.

Solutions

1)We have to revise our education syllabus.
2)All mosques and madrasahs must be in the control of Pakistani state like in KSA and in Iran.
3)Our establishment must stop support to these right wing parties if they want to see Pakistan stable in future.

If you will say Mullah to Salman's murderer then it is wrong. I think he did in love of Holy Prophet(PBUH).
Mullah have very strict about Islam which is totally wrong and some their points are against Islam.
Now what you people are feeling sad. Before his death many people said that they(All Politicians) died in Suicide bomb. And I know even you people also know that many people are happy with this. Many common people die every day if they people do not feel sorry then why we. Why we feel dead and do not said that we are common and they are VIPs. We are Muslim so every people are same.


According to your 3 suggestion common person can not do this.
Its depend on government if they are saying Mullah are wrong then why they are not stopping them they are just like (Barking Dog) so Barking dog seldom bites. They must stop them but who cares. They are nothing doing for people.
