Senator’s Son Reports Theft of Luxury Watch, Blames Gold Price Hike
Abdul Qadir Gilani, the son of Senate Chairman Yousuf Raza Gilani, has reported the theft of his valuable watch while on a leisure trip in Barcelona. The stolen timepiece, estimated to be worth 56,000 euros (approximately Rs18.5 million), has sparked a conversation about the lavish lifestyle of political figures.
Speaking to the media in Barcelona, Gilani revealed he purchased the watch 12 to 13 years ago when prices were lower and its value had since appreciated due to the rising price of gold. He explained, “Although wearing gold is forbidden for men, it’s wise to carry gold during travel in case of an emergency where it can be sold.” He recounted that the watch was snatched from his wrist, along with his host’s watch, while they were with family. He added that he was thankful for their safety, despite the unfortunate incident.
