Imran Khan was shot and wounded in both legs during a long march in Wazirabad on Thursday. He was transferred to hospital for treatment after suffering a leg injury.

Earlier on Monday, PTI vice-president Shah Mahmood Qureshi said the PTI Haqeeqi Azadi parade would resume on Thursday instead of the previous Tuesday, ARY News reported.

A day after the alleged assassination attempt, the PTI chief said he knew in advance that an assassination was planned.

“The day before going to the rally, I knew someone was planning to assassinate me in Wazirabad or Gujarat,” Khan said in his first speech for the “assassination” attempt against him.

Meanwhile, the Pakistani military said the PTI chairman’s claims were “unacceptable and unnecessary”.

After the attack, Imran Khan urged his followers to continue protesting against the three men he accused of masterminding the assassination plan.

When Khan was attacked in Wazirabad, he was leading the PTI march towards Islamabad. One person was killed and 13 injured in Thursday’s attack, Geo News reported.

The 70-year-old cricketer-turned-politician was ousted in a vote of confidence in April. He said his government would never lose a move of distrust. (ANI)
