Karachi: January 3, 2012. (PCP) Pakistan Christian Congress PCC Central Executive Council met here today to offer prayers for Shaheed Salman Taseer to mark his 1st death anniversary. Salman Taseer, governor of Punjab, was gunned down by his body guard in capital city Islamabad, on January 4th, 2011. Governor Salman Taseer, met Asia Bibi, a Christian mother of 5, sentenced to death on blasphemy charges in sheikhupura Jail and demanded pardon for her from President of Pakistan. He also announced blasphemy laws to be controversial and un-Islamic, on which Islamic clerics issued religious decree against him as “Salman Taseer is blasphemer also to call blasphemy law a Black Law and should be killed” Mumtaz Qadri, an elite force policeman, was allegedly deployed in guard duty team of Governor Salman Taseer during his visit to Islamabad, who informed his intention to other policemen to kill governor and told them that it is his religious duty to kill him. Mumtaz Qadri was assured by other members of duty guards that they will not shoot him if he kills Governor Salman Taseer. The other policemen on guard duty never shot Mumtaz Qadri to stop him when he was spraying bullet from his official gun on Salman Taseer but arrested him when satisfied that governor is dead on spot.
