@Naveed Considering he was an ex-Afghan Governer, I don't think it's our responsibility to protect him. The question is why he was living here and who abducted him?

Why cant Pakistan figure these Afghans out. Send them back to their countries. They have been nothing but a problem for 30 years. Enough.
