LAHORE: Federal Law Minister Babar Awan on Wednesday said that it was important to find out whether Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer’s assassination was a security lapse or a conspiracy to destabilise Pakistan.
Speaking to the media in Lahore, the law minister lamented that the authorities had failed to provide adequate security to Taseer. He said that the assassination had left many questions unanswered.
Earlier, Information Secretary Fauzia Wahab said that the Punjab Governor was killed due to political reasons.
Taseer, who recently angered religious zealots with his statements against the controversial blasphemy laws, was assassinated by one of his own guards in an upmarket neighbourhood of Islamabad on Tuesday.
