His father Mohammad Deen Taseer (famously known as M.D. Taseer) was a poet and guides to legends like Faiz Ahmed Faiz as well as being one of the founders of the Progressive Writers\u2019 Movement in the 1930s.<\/p>\n<p>His mother Christabel (Bilquees) was a British leftist activist and elder sister of Alys, later Alys Faiz. The two sisters had left their homes and come to India where they met their future husbands.<\/p>\n<p>Taseer studied at Saint Anthony\u2019s School and the Government College Lahore \u2014 institutions where he was a few years senior to Nawaz Sharif.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1960s, he went to England to study accountancy. Early in his professional career, he successfully set up two chartered accountancy and management consultancy firms in the UAE and Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p>In 1994, he established First Capital Securities Corporation Limited (FCSC), a full-service brokerage house and had been actively involved in establishing other companies in the financial services sector as well as telecommunications, media, insurance and real estate\/property development sectors in Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p>Taseers\u2019s association with the Pakistan People\u2019s Party went way back in time. In his maiden speech after taking charge as governor of Punjab in 2008, he declared that he wanted to turn Lahore into another Larkana for the PPP.<\/p>\n<p>He was elected to the Punjab Assembly from Lahore in the 1988 elections.<\/p>\n<p>Taseer was among the PPP stalwarts who were drawn to Gen Pervez Musharraf, even though he did not formally join the general\u2019s establishment until agreeing to be a federal minister for commerce and industry in the caretaker set-up of Muhammadmian Soomro in 2007-08.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next two and a half years, Taseer was involved in a war of words with the PML-N, especially Shahabz Sharif\u2019s law minister Rana Sanaullah.<\/p>\n<p>Salman Taseer was not known to take any accusation leveled against him lying down and would react with anger to anything that was thrown his way.<\/p>\n<p>Taseer remained defiant in the face of punches thrown at him.<\/p>\n<p>Taseer was also tortured by police in November 1992 when Nawaz Sharif was the prime minister \u2014 an incident which he later remarked had rid him of all fears.<\/p>\n<p>In what could have led to his assassination, he also followed a line on the blasphemy law which was independent of the PPP. He spoke with passion about the case of Aasia Bibi who had been sentenced to death by a lower court and even committed to seeking a presidential pardon for her.<\/p>\n<p>This landed Taseer in trouble with a group of people who accused him of trying to protect a blasphemer. There were protests outside the Governor\u2019s House in Lahore and rallies in other parts of the country. Some relatively less known clerics issued edicts calling for his head. This led to concerns being expressed about his safety, something he himself was not always too bothered about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A large number of people have
