It is a most sad and disturbing day for democratic forces of Pakistan and of the world.The assassination of Salman Taseer,Governor of Punjab, for publicly supporting the poor Christian woman victim of fascist blasphemy law, a vestige of Zia ul Haq black days in Pakistan, by his security guard indicates the kind of Bhindrawala style fundamentalist forces are dictating the life of people in Pakistan…. No less scaring than Hitler or Mussolini of 30’s.It will be a prolonged arduous struggle to protect, preserve and promote democratic values in Pakistan subscribed by Iqbal and Jinnah, under such circumstances, but Pakistani people must accept this challenge and Indian, Bangladeshi and other democratic people of the world must support them in this life and death struggle.If religious fundamentalism succeeds in Pakistan, rest assured India and Bangladesh will not escape of its shadows.
Best tribute to Salman Taseer would be to scrap fascist blasphemy law in Pakistan and elsewhere in the world.
