Pakistan People's Party (PPP) pinned blame on the opposition provincial government and announced it would hold protest rallies.
Shabaz was abducted by unidentified gunmen on Friday in Lahore, capital of Punjab province ruled by the Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.
The kidnap came about eight months after the murder of Punjab governor Salman Taseer in January by one of his security guards, who confessed to killing him because of his public criticism of the country's blasphemy law.
PPP's Punjab leader Imtiaz Safdar Warraich said the PML-N provincial government led by chief minister Shahbaz Sharif, younger brother of the party president, was responsible for what happened as it had failed to ensure security and curb crime in the most populous province.
"We have decided to hold protest rallies at all divisional headquarters in the province on Monday [today] and will also agitate in the Punjab assembly over the kidnapping," he told the media.
