Re: Ex Caretaker Minister Salmaan Taseer named as new Punjab Governor
PML N lashes out at Taseer’s appointment, blasting him as a chum of the President, and one who harbours deep hatred of the Sharif family.
*He termed Salman Taseer’s character, politically and financially tainted. He said that Salman did not deserve this key post. **He said that PML-N fought the political war against dictatorship and it was ready to do same with the chum of the President. ***
As he takes oath of his office at 6 pm today, Salman is being viewed more as Musharraf’s man rather than a representative of federal government led by the PPP
*The appointment of Salman Taseer as Punjab Governor, who is likely to take oath of his office on Friday (today), has given rise to bitter controversy, which, the analysts believe, may prove fatal for the fragile coalition that has already suffered a great set back after major disagreement between the PPP and the PML-N over modalities of restoring the deposed judges. *
***A big business and media tycoon, Salman Taseer has personal rivalry with Sharif brothers. He was hung upside down in Sarwar Road Police station and brutally tortured by police on behest of Mian Nawaz Sharif when he published a white paper on the alleged corruption of Nawaz Government in 1992. ***
