{{The son of former Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has reportedly been kidnapped during a campaign rally in his hometown of Multan, sources have said.}}<\/p>\n
Ali Haider Gilani was taken during a gunfire at the rally, which apparently killed his personal secretary and injured others.<\/p>\n
“People came on a motorbike. They also had a car with them and they opened fire and abducted Yousuf Raza Gilani’s son Ali Haider in a black Honda,” police officer Khurram Shakur said.<\/p>\n
He is running from two constituencies – NA-151 and NA-152 – as an independent candidate, but is a member of the Pakistan People’s Party which completed its five years in government.<\/p>\n
Rehman Malik, the former interior minister and a PPP leader, spoke to Al Jazeera in the aftermath of the kidnapping.<\/p>\n
“There is a war going on between pro- and anti-Taliban forces in this country. They have captured the son of our leader. We are saddened by this and praying that he is safely recovered.”<\/p>\n
