RECENTLY Awais Ali Shah, son of the chief justice of the Sindh High Court, was recovered in Khyber Pakhtukhwa. The operation to recover him was carried out by the army.

Earlier this year, Shahbaz Taseer, the son of slain Punjab governor Salmaan Taseer, was rescued four years after he was kidnapped by militants in Lahore.

Last month, the US and Afghan forces also freed Ali Haider Gilani, the son of former prime minister Yusuf Raza Gilani, three years after gunmen had kidnapped him.

We should not forget that Awais was kidnapped in Karachi but was recovered. in Tank. Which helicopter did those terrorists use from Karachi to Tank or which invisible sheet hid them at all checkposts and what power did they have which allowed them to move him freely far from Karachi?
