Twitter alert: Taseer for man of the year?

Taseer laments Zuckerberg winning man of the year, while Shahbaz Sharif sees "no significant political changes" soon.

Ali Syed December 20, 2010

While some politicians use Twitter to express their genuine emotions, others use it as yet another forum to repeat the rhetoric they use on television talk shows.

As expected, Governor Punjab Salman Taseer remains the 'funny man' in politics, while MNA Marvi Memon continues to tweet about her humanitarian expeditions. Former president Pervez Musharraf is busy trying to gather support for his party, while Ijazul Haq's page looks like a mini Wikipedia entry on China's history and Ashura.

Salman Taseer

So Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook fame has been chosen for Time Magazine’s man of the year. Hmm... Guess I'll have to wait till next year.

Pervez Musharraf

I look forward to meeting my friends and supporters in Abu Dhabi, UAE on the 20th of December 2010. Pakistan First! PM

Naveed Qamar

Spending three days with Chinese prime minister as minister in waiting.

Shahbaz Sharif

Dynamics are slowly changing for good but I see no significant political changes immediately taking shape in the country.

Marvi Memon

I am glad I chose Gilgit for Ashur. It was very well appreciated.

Farahnaz Ispahani

We must be careful not to attack one another. Too many haters playing divide and rule.

Husain Haqqani

19,664 terrorists/militants killed in Pakistan from 2003 to 2010. Are we still not doing enough?

Ijazul Haq

Today China is far ahead of its competitors with enormous reserves and a prospering economy.

RS | 13 years ago | Reply Salmaan Taseer is definitely a serial-tweeter. And yes, he definitely responds to most tweets. But not always in a professional manner. Once I said something to him about being too involved with bringing down Shahbaz Sharif and in return he called me a retard. My vote's with farahnaz ispahani, hands down. Sorry Salmaan and gang, I don't like my intelligence to be questioned. I'm also very pro-PC (political correctness--retard is a derogatory term).

Mullah+Toufan | 13 years ago | Reply My vote for Hussain Haqani. lol.

Atiq | 13 years ago | Reply I agree with Farhan virk, Salman Taseer is very resposive on tweets, he helped people on tweets from his follower. I am a personal witness to that. he is amazing

Teri to.

Farhan Virk | 13 years ago | Reply Salman Taseer is no doubt the best addition to twitter politics. He's not only witty but helpful as well. He replies almost every tweet despite being Governor. Same isn't felt when you reply to other journalists and politicians. Salman Taseer deserves a big applause. He seems to listen to the heart of people. I used to follow PML N but his tweets certainly changed my mind. He deserves to be Punjab's Governor.
