Shahbaz Taseer to reunite with family soon

Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Tuesday said the government’s efforts to recover Shahbaz Taseer, son of slain Punjab governor Salman Taseer, would soon prove fruitful. “Multiple efforts” on the part of the government were underway which would result in a “positive” outcome, Malik tweeted. Earlier in July, Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah had said in a Geo News TV programme that the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had been negotiating with militants over Shahbaz’s release. Sanaullah said that the kidnappers were demanding a large ransom and the release of some of their colleagues. Shahbaz Taseer was kidnapped from Lahore on Aug 26, 2011 in the morning near his company’s head office. Slain Governor of Punjab Salman Taseer was killed by his bodyguard last year after he criticised Pakistan’s blasphemy laws.
