Author: webdesk

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan is likely to address the nation today (Friday) following the assassination attempt on him.

As per details, Imran Khan in his expected address to the nation will take the masses into confidence over the Wazirabad gun attack on the PTI rally.

Currently, Imran Khan is hospitalized at Shaukat Khanum Hospital, where his condition is stable after the operation.

“Four bullets have been taken out from Imran Khan’s leg after surgery by a team of highly qualified surgeons at the hospital,” a source from the Shaukat Khanum Hospital told Daily Times on condition of anonymity. The former prime minister has been allowed to move and he is likely to be discharged soon, the sources added.

The attack on Imran Khan’s convoy killed one man and wounded at least 10, significantly raising the stakes in a political crisis that has gripped Pakistan since ‘regime change’ in April this year.

Protests erupted across the country on Thursday following the assassination attempt. PTI supporters and the general public took to the streets in all major cities in anger over the cowardly attack. PTI leader Asad Umar announced a country-wide protest after Friday prayers. “The protests will continue until Imran Khan’s demands are met,” he tweeted.

Former information minister Fawad Chaudhry also said that PTI has given the call for a nationwide strike after Friday prayers.

The Punjab Bar Council (PBC) has already announced to boycott courts across the province today against the assassination bid on PTI Chairman Imran Khan.

PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s container has already been cordoned off after it became a crime scene following the attack on the former premier on Thursday. The trailer is being guarded by commandos as forensic experts comb the area.

The attack has not only been condemned by Pakistani political leaders, activists, and social media users but people from around the world have also expressed shock and concern.
