The motion

That this House condemns the assassination of the governor of Punjab, Salman Taseer; notes his courageous calls for the abolition of Pakistan's blasphemy law and equally courageous demands for clemency for Asia Bibi; further notes with concern the role of religious fundamentalism; and hopes that all countries will, in the future, move towards the tolerance that should be the hallmark of the secular state.
