LAHORE: Firing has taken place at an election rally of former Punjab Assembly deputy speaker and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidate Rana Mashood, DawnNews reported.

Mashood was however not hurt from the firing incident in Lahore's Gulshan Ravi. Initial reports say that one party worker has been injured.

The former deputy speaker has had an attempt made on his life in February 2012, when unknown gunmen opened fire on his car as he was returning to Lahore from Multan.
