In his message of tributes on the 5th martyrdom day anniversary of former Punjab Governor, PPP Chairman said from the torture cells of Lahore Fort to his martyred Shaheed Salman Taseer emerged as a monumental character in the history who lived, struggled and embraced death like a true hero of the nation, democracy and human rights.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari pointed out that Shaheed Salman Taseer followed the path of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and stood like rock against the forces of darkness who were bent upon to drag the country to the stone-age. These forces of darkness were deliberately created by the dictatorial regimes to trample the nation’s quest for democracy, human rights and equality and prolong usurpation of the power of people, he added.rock against the forces of darkness who were bent upon to drag the country to the stone-age.
