Well no worries, PMLN should talk with abductors and should not take any action as per its policy.
This the beginning of the end for us. The rulers of the nation are now being kidnapped for ransom...well come to the new growth Industry .
Seeing Pakistan criminal justice system, I reached to conclusion. No crime can be done without help of LEAs...
Very sad. Even Punjab is becoming more and more of a jungle. No doubt a blowback of exporting chaos and extremism to other provinces. Anyway, the government must immediately recover the parliamentarian.
If a MPA is not safe how come an ordinary man's life is in safe hands under this government.Time to think and to improve governance not just by announcing different power projects but to invest to safeguard the lives of ordinary citizen by improving police and security agencies in the country invest them trained them and then expect result from them.
@PeaceMonger: Answer what? Any kidnapping is wrong. I pray the gentleman returns safe and sound. May Allah make it easy for him and his family.
no body is safe in Punjab..ruled by father and son...waiting statement from Rana Sanaullah...that it was not a kidnapping case but,by mistake they took the wrong person
Let the police do the inquiry instead.
@Zain: I applaud honesty.....and I endorse your sentiment.
We strongly condemn the Kidnapping of Rana Jamil Good Khan MPA ( PP-174 ) Nankana Sahib he is really a good n brave man he always loves & Cares for his people we demand to Govt to take action for his release
Definitely PTI. Rana Sanaullah And Saad Rafique about to confirm...
I wish I could feel sorry for him. Politicians have no sympathy for the civilians, why should we?
Will PTI followers answer to this?
What protection does an ordinary citizens have when an MPA gets kidnapped and women can be stoned to death outside courts - all in broad day light. I wait for the CM/PM to order an inquiry and submit a report... And move on to the next incident.
