Shahbaz Taseer’s kidnapping (II)

LAHORE: Going by the response of this unfortunate incident on social media websites, I have to say that most liberals have already started with their condemnation of how Pakistan is falling apart. However, many are assuming that extremists are behind the abduction, even as the police was being quoted as saying that they were exploring also the possibility that it could be linked to a business feud. Quite honestly, this self-centred, self-pitiful attitude of the liberals is quite disconcerting. That said, I hope and pray that he returns home safe and sound as soon as possible.
