Former Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani’s son Ali Haider intends to write a book on the ordeal he had gone through in a three-year captivity of militants in Afghanistan.
“My son had written a manuscript for a book detailing his ordeal in captivity but it was burnt,” Gilani said while talking to reporters at his residence here on Thursday .
Gilani, however, did not tell who burnt the papers.
“The release of my son is not less than a miracle,” he added.
Making his first public appearance at his residence here after getting freedom from the clutches of Al-Qaeda Haider thanked the people of Pakistan for their prayers.
“I just want to thank everyone for their prayers and hard work for my return. I am thankful to have reached home safely and happily. I feel great,” Haider said.
To a question about his ordeal in captivity, Haider said: “It is a very long dastaan (story). Some other time I will tell you about this.”
