Flowers showered on Taseer’s killer in court
ISLAMABAD - A local court on Wednesday ordered a one-day remand in police custody of Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer’s killer Malik Mumtaz Qadri.
Qadri, an Elite Force Punjab constable, was produced before duty magistrate Naeem Shaukat, who sent him on a one-day transit remand. The court ordered the assassin to be produced before Anti-Terrorism Court in Rawalpindi today (Thursday). The court also ordered police to get a medical examination of Qadri.
Meanwhile, the Namoos-e-Risalat Lawyers Forum (NRLF) showered flowers on Qadri when he was being brought to court under strict security and announced to fight his case free-of-cost. Earlier, Kohsar police station registered an FIR on the complaint of Shehryar Taseer, son of Salmaan Taseer, against Qadri.
Per the FIR registered under Section 302/109 PPC and 7 ATA, Shehryar stated that he received information that his father Salmaan Taseer was coming out from a restaurant in Kohsar Market in Islamabad at 4:15pm on January 4 when his official security guard, Malik Mumtaz Qadri, sprayed a volley of bullets from his official weapon, injuring him critically. Taseer was rushed to Polyclinic Hospital by police staff and employees, where doctors pronounced him dead.
Shehryar said his father had a particular point of view on important national issues, due to which various religious and political groups had been propagating against him and he had been receiving life threats.
He alleged that his father was assassinated by Qadri with the assistance and conspiracy of religious and political factions.
Summary for judicial probe into Taseer’s killing sent to PM: The Ministry of Law on Wednesday sent a summary to Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani for the formation of a two-member judicial commission to investigate Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer’s assassination.
A source in the ministry told Pakistan Today that the ministry had proposed that Islamabad High Court Chief Justice Iqbal Hameedur Rehman should head the commission with IHC Justice Riaz Ahmed Khan as the other member. A few hours after Taseer’s assassination, the Punjab government had demanded the federal government form a judicial commission for investigation into the Punjab governor’s assassination.
Law Minister Babar Awan had also told reporters in Lahore on Tuesday that the prime minister had given an informal approval for the formation of the commission.
The source said Gilani would likely give the final approval today (Thursday). “The Law Ministry has proposed that the judicial commission should complete the task of probing Taseer’s assassination as soon as possible,” he added.
