Pakistan’s ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan has been injured after an unidentified gunman opened fire at a rally, according to an official from Khan’s PTI party
Pakistan’s ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan has survived a shooting at a political rally on Thursday that his party called an assassination attempt, which killed one person and injured several others and prompted protests among Khan’s supporters. Video of the alleged attack shows Khan waving from an open-topped truck just outside the town of Gujranwala, Punjab province, when shots rang out, sending his party members ducking for cover.
After the shooting, protests broke out across Pakistan on Thursday in support of Khan, including in Islamabad and Peshawar, where approximately 800 protesters gathered. They blocked roads for about two hours while holding party flags and chanting slogans against the army and the federal government. Several PTI politicians addressed the crowd, including provincial assembly member Fazal Elahi, who said the attack was part of a conspiracy against the PTI leadership.
