Pakistan Peoples' Party Punjab protested outside Punjab Assembly against the abduction of Shahbaz Taseer. Secretary General PPP Punjab, Samiullah Durrani said the PPP would continue protest until the recovery of Shahbaz Taseer. The party workers chanted slogans against Punjab government for its failure in protecting the family of slain Governor Salman Taseer, murdered by one of his police bodyguards for blasphemy.
The PPP criticised Punjab government for its failure in maintaining law and order in the province. Earlier, one US citizen was also abducted by some unidentified persons a week earlier. No clues about his whereabouts are yet available. Meanwhile, both the President, Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister, Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani directed Inspector General Police to recover abducted Taseer immediately. Zardari also telephoned the widow of former governor Punjab Salman Taseer and assured all out efforts to recover her son.
Shahbaz Taseer was abducted near his office in Gulberg area on Friday when a couple of people took him away forcefully. Shahbaz, the eldest son of former governor Salmaan Taseer, is a director in several companies his father founded, including Pace Pakistan Ltd, First Capital Equities Ltd, Media Times Ltd and First Capital Securities Corp Ltd.
