Faiz Ahmad Faiz, the real uncle of Salman Taseer was member of the Communist Party of Pakistan (CPP) and remained in jail for 5 years in early fifties whereas Salman Taseer was not a communist but he was a highly progressive and democrat politician, who was assassinated for his efforts to provide justice to a Christian woman who was accused of blasphemy.
Taseer, after finding the women innocent, raised voice for her release while he was the Governor of Punjab but unfortunately, a religious fundamentalist and his own security guard Mumtaz Qadri killed him brutally in Islamabad three years back.
CPP Chairman, Engineer Jameel Ahmad Malik on the 3rd death anniversary of Salman Taseer demanded that the pending case of Mumtaz Qadri in Islamabad High Court be decided forthwith and justice be provided to the Taseer’s family immediately as ‘Justice delayed is justice denied.’
