PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari telephoned Shahbaz's brother Shehryar Taseer and congratulated him on his brother's safe return.
So used to condemning & condoling...not exactly sure how to react to good news...Allahu Akbar. God is Great. Welcome home @ShahbazTaseer

The government was also appreciated:
Recovery of Shahbaz Taseer shows that operation Zarb-e-Azab is going ahead successfully, militant networks across Pakistan weakened/broken

Meanwhile, the youngest son of former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, Ali Haider Gilani, still awaits release. He was kidnapped during an election campaign rally on May 9, 2013.
Some called for his release:
Hope that Yusuf Raza Gilani's son is also recovered soon - Ali Haider Gilani, kidnapped May 2013 @Fiza_Gilani

Can't even imagine how family coped these past almost 5 years or what he must have gone through. Hope Haider Gilani also recovered soon.
