Salmaan Taseer (Urdu, Punjabi: سلمان تاثیر; May 31, 1944[1][2] – January 4, 2011) was a Pakistani businessman and politician who served as the governor of the province of Punjab from 2008 until his assassination in early 2011.
He was a member of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and had also served as a minister in the caretaker cabinet of Prime Minister Muhammad Mian Soomro under Pervez Musharraf. Taseer was also the chairman and CEO of the First Capital and Worldcall Group.
He was appointed to the post of governor on May 15, 2008, in place of outgoing governor, Lt Gen (R) Khalid Maqbool,[5] by then-President Musharraf at the request of the PPP establishment.
On January 4, 2011, Taseer was assassinated in Islamabad by his own security guard, who disagreed with Taseer's opposition to Pakistan's blasphemy law.[6]
