Social media reactions to the death of a politician are not worthy of mention, just as social media reactions to other world events are not (in general) worthy of note. There are several reasons I have removed the section, and I am listing them below in order of importance:
In the interests of full disclosure, I am Pakistani, and have a strong personal opinion regarding the laws related to the assassination of Salman Taseer. However, I am sure we can all agree that the propagation of original points of view (those favorable to us, as well as those we disagree with) is not the domain of an encyclopedia.
Dear 173.33.38.255, Please always sign your comments by ending with ~~~~.
When you want a discussion on talk page before page-reverting plz post a note in the talk pages, more so because talk page edits by IP are often not very constructive and biased as can be seen here. Further, you've admitted your Pakistani nationality and "strong personal opinion regarding the laws related to the assassination of Salman Taseer" - I presume this to be a support for the Blasphemy Law. Every language Wikipedia has its bias - Bengali WP speaks of tons atrocities by Pak forces in the 1971, partly supported by facts and partly not. Similarly Korean Wikipedia speaks about Japanese army atrocities during the World War, Arabic and Hebrew Wikipedia have different versions of events, all of which may not NPOV. Urdu Wikipedia refers to Malik Mumtaz Hussain Quadri as Ghazi and Salman Taseer as Blasphemer. But English Wikipedia requires an unbiased approach, uninfluenced by religion. So plz keep your emotions at bay.
Social media comments are noted here to only highlight public opinion. And this is there since several months.
Also, I am surprised at your criticism of a comment regarding liberal nature of Islam. Do you mean assassination of Salman Taseer, Shahbaz Bhatti, Maulana Naeemi, etc and murder attempts on the lives of Malala Yousuf Zai, Asma Jahangir, Abdus Sattar Edhi, Gauhar Shahi, Parvez Musharraf, etc are sanctioned by faith? Does this effort which you are initiating not prick your national and religious sentiments? Hindustanilanguage ( talk) 09:15, 19 April 2013 (UTC).
Please do not attempt to guess at my opinions, since they are not relevant here. My personal opinion regarding the blasphemy laws is the opposite of what you have surmised it to be, and I am not religiously inclined.
I had already posted this section in the talk page before you had reverted the edit, and had mentioned it in my edit summary (although evidently you missed this the first time you rolled back my edit).
My emotions are very much "at bay", I assure you. Regarding the only actual point you have raised, the fact that this content has been on the article for several months in no way vindicates its existence. I also find it interesting that you have neglected to address any of the concerns I have raised regarding the quality and relevance of the section, and have instead chosen to focus on my identity and motives.
Finally, I did not "criticise" any comments regarding the liberal nature of Islam. It may or may not be liberal, this is not relevant in any way to the article. My objection to the quote (and the entire section for that matter), is that it is incoherent and off topic.
Thanks for the heads up regarding signatures.

Since you have failed to respond to my attempt to discuss this, I will put up a RfC in order to get some outside input. 113.203.201.26 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:36, 25 April 2013 (UTC) (edited to fix punctuation) 113.203.201.26 ( talk) 18:25, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
A section on social media reactions to the assassination of this politician should not be included in their biography, since these are not relevant to the subject of the article. This section should be removed.
The section has several other (unrelated) problems, which I have outlined in detail on the talk page. Briefly: the section is incoherent and poorly punctuated, quotes unverifiable sources, and includes links that are very likely being used solely for self promotion. In addition, the section uses language such as "wholeheartedly" or "sheepishly" to describe the reactions of the parties it discusses, which betrays an underlying POV.
I would suggest that the sentence "Taseer made headlines when he favoured the Christian Pakistani woman, Asia Bibi, who had been sentenced to death for blasphemy" is POV. To oppose someone being killed for blasphemy is not "favouring" them, but being merciful. Royalcourtier ( talk) 01:12, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Change "On 29 February 2016 the assaulter of Taseer was hanged at the Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi.[8]"
To: "On 29 February 2016 his murderer was hanged at the Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi."
Taseer wasn't assaulted, he was murdered, and seeing as Qadri was convicted and hanged, it's not a BLP violation.
This section needs to be put in context. When? Why? Etc. -- Richardson mcphillips ( talk) 10:08, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

says here his son was released "a few months" after the murderer was hanged. The article about the kidnapping of his son says he was "recovered" on March 8, which is only a few days later. Which is correct?
