The sixth death anniversary of slain Punjab governor Salmaan Taseer - who sacrificed his life for the cause of humanity and provision of rights to the marginalised sections of society - will be observed today (Wednesday) across the country.
Representatives of civil society and human rights organisations will pay tribute to Salmaan Taseer, who raised his voice against false allegations levelled against a Christian woman and was assassinated by his security guard for that. The former governor had assured that woman of his full support for her release. A candlelit vigil will be organised at Liberty Roundabout by the Institute of Peace and Secular Studies (IPSS) to remember the slain leader and his great sacrifice.
Meanwhile, Civil Society Network Pakistan President Abdullah Malik in his statement on the death anniversary of Salmaan Taseer said that the day should be marked as "elimination of terrorism day".
