MULTAN: Ali Haider Gilani, a son of former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani who was kidnapped from Multan on Thursday, remained untraced despite efforts and frantic searches conducted by law enforcement agencies in Multan.
The kidnapping occurred, when a Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) corner meeting ongoing on Multan's Matti-Tal road, was attacked by gunmen.
Police said Ali Haider Gilani's personal secretary, Mohiuddin, was killed in the attack and one of his guards wounded, along with four other people, in the abduction.
“People came on a motorbike. They also had a car with them and they opened fire and abducted Yousuf Raza Gilani's son Ali Haider in a black Honda,” police officer Khurram Shakur told reporters.
Haider was a provincial assembly candidate for the secular PPP and his two brothers Ali Musa Gilani and Abdul Qadir Gilani are standing for the national assembly.
After the kidnapping, Gilani's sons, Ali Musa and Abdul Qadir were seen to be angry and in tears.
"I will not allow elections to be held in my constituency at any cost. My brother is gone, how can I let polls take place in Multan," an emotional Ali Musa Gilani told television channels.
According to police, all entry and exit points for Multan were sealed and a massive search operation was underway to recover Ali Haider and apprehend those responsible.
Interior Minister Habib Khan also said searches were ongoing and the kidnapping would not impact the coming elections.
Caretaker prime minister Mir Hazar Khan Khoso expressed concern over the abduction and called former premier Yousuf Raza Gilani to discuss the incident.
He said all available resources would be used to recover Haider Gilani and assured that the culprits would be brought to justice.
Moreover, chief election commissioner Justice (retd) Fakhruddin G. Ebrahim also condemned the kidnapping and called upon the caretaker government to provide full security to election candidates.
Ali Haider Gilani was contesting for the May 11 election from PPP-200 constituency in Multan.
His family is one of the most powerful in the central town of Multan and a key clan in the PPP, whose campaign for re-election has been dramatically curtailed by Tehrik-i-Taliban threats.

Political leaders and rallies / meetings have been attacked, innocent lives have been lost but no abduction till now except this one. Why has he been abducted is a big perplexing question? What could be the motive behind it? I do sympathize with them but it is that Gillanis will not let any election held in Multan if former PM's youngest son Ali Haider Gillani contesting for PA seat is not recovered till tonight. ECP can cancel pa election from where Ali was contesting but nothing beyond. One must be prudent even in adversities.

If Gilani had provided leadership and countered taliban propaganda by calling upon the nation to recognize the taliban as the real enemy and to crush them with all the military and police resources at his disposal, the taliban would have been crushed and his son would have been safe. I hope the next Pakistani prime minister learns something from this and stops pretending that these snakes are merely "misguided by pious muslims".

When common men die or abducted, he and his ministers use to say that they cannot provide security to everyone, so why they are crying now? They had the opportunity to build Pakistan, but they were more concern building something else. One may say I am wrong, but I do not have any sympathy with them.

Why has he been abducted is the only question to be thoroughly investigated to be honest?

Who could be so daring devil to pounce on such a high profile target? Is father paying back the price for what he had been doing as PM? Must be a lesson for all not just Yusuf Gilani

I think the act by who ever committed it is reprehensible. Whether you are on the side of PPP or not, this is just not acceptable. Our leaders should all condemn these acts, and if they dont, tomorrow, it will be their kith and kin and the cycle repeats over and over again. Same is true for the ANP and MQM killings during this election season. All people should have the moral courage to stand up and condemn these.
Now, this should also serve as a lesson to all our leaders, including PPP. When you are in power, and do not do an effective job of protecting the security of ordinary citizens and the kidnappings and murder become a routine, sooner or later it will impact everyone - even the ones in power - civil or military. You all live there, and not on an island. As conditions worsen, what makes you think that you will be insulated from these horrific events.

The previous PPP government did nothing to improve law and order situation during its five years term, Governor of Punjab was murdered accepted the responsibility explaining his motive behind this serious crime but nothing was done, this was followed by kidnapping of ex-Governor Salman Taseer son, still no action by PPP government. Who can forget the big scandal involving the then Ambassador of Pakistan to the United States, instead of punishing the traitor(s) the whole matter was brushed under the carpet. The honorable Judge who headed the commission to investigating this scandal was not bothered about the seriousness of the issue and the PPP government brushed the matter under the carpet. So many years have passed yet nobody has analyzed the role of PPP and West Pakistani politicians in creating situation which lead to the debacle in East Pakistan. It is sad that the son of ex-Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani has been kidnapped but had he discharged his responsibilities honestly and diligently he would not have experienced this kidnapping episode.

It is all propaganda to gain sympathy of the people to win the elections. Nothing else.
Gilani family moves with many gaurds and every one is hodling weapons. how come no one even opened a fire and tried to safe him.....
Do not make fool of this poor people......

I dont condone the kidnapping but if I would be lying if I say that I feel any sympathy towards this family which has looted Pakistan in broad day light
I wish the boy well if his "abduction" is genuine.

Just about a year back when prime minister Gillani was giving interview on international media, he was asked a question that the conditions in Pakistan were so bad that 1/3rd of Pakistanis wanted to leave the country and Mr Gillani arrogantly replied that why don't they leave Pakistan and who prevented them to do so!

It could be a stunt to attract sympathy votes, or it could be real. If it is a stunt then shame on Gilani, but if it is real then it is job well done. People suffered during Gilani's rule while he was busy stealing money, and hence I have no sympathy for him.

Kidnapping of Gilani's son is a stunt. They want to carry on like dynastic ownership of the country.
