Islamabad: Chairman Pakistan People’s Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has paid glowing tributes to former Governor Punjab Salman Taseer on his 10th martyrdom anniversary.

In his message for the occasion, the PPP Chairman said that Salman Taseer stood like a rock against extremism and laid down his life protecting the vulnerable segments of society.
