Former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani met an independent candidate affiliated with the PTI, Barrister Taimur Malik in Multan, who is also contesting the upcoming elections from the NA-248 constituency.

The video shared by Gilani’s daughter in a post on X showed the two politicians hugging as they bumped into each other during their election campaign in a market in Multan.

In the footage, Barrister Malik can be heard saying: “May God make Imran Khan successful.”

“This is the kind of politics we need in Pakistan,” Gilani’s daughter said. “Say no to politics of hate,” she added.
