After Nawaz Sharif's explosive interview on Geo yesterday, hinting an all-out "pusch" against Mushy's regime. Panic striken "Judgophobic" Zardari in a desperate "pre-emptive strike" appointed ex-con and self-proclaimed pro-musharaf athiest Salman Taseer, Governor of Punjab last night.
Salman Taseer's views on Islam, CJP Chaudhary Iftikhar and Mushy are extremely controversial. In an interview at his own network, he expressed his extreme opposition regarding restoration of the Judges and made it quite clear that he supports Mushy in every way, and especially supports and appreciates anti-Islam policies of Mush, infact he wants mush to do even more.
Salman Taseer is an old friend/business partner of Zardari. With Salman Taseer as Gov Punjab, Zardari-Mush Alliance now seems to have consolidated their position versus the Sharif brothers. Taseer will surely try crush the movement before it even begins to take some shape.
Salman's ambitions to become future Prime Minister are well-known. He was also picked in the care-taker cabinet as minister for industry and production in 2007.
Taseer is the chairman First Capital and owner of a private TV channel "Business Plus", WorldCall and Daily Times.
