Former Prime Minister (PM) and Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI), Imran Khan, has been injured in a firing incident during his long march near the Wazirabad area in Gujranwala.
According to the details, the Haqeeqi Azadi long march became a chaotic spectacle after the shooting incident occurred at the Allahwala chowk.
As per the reports, one person has embraced martyrdom and around four people have been injured, including Imran Khan who sustained injuries on one of his legs.
Furthermore, a video from the crime scene also revealed that the former Prime Minister was unharmed, as he got into a car shortly after the incident. According to reports, the perpetrator was apprehended by police after a video surfaced of him being beaten by PTI supporters.
Meanwhile, Imran Ismail, the leader of the PTI, has stated that the party will lodge a FIR against Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah for the attack, since he has repeatedly warned his party with grave consequences if it continues its long march.
Chaos happening even at a place called Allahwala. God forbid, these sort of foolish things can only happen in a Pakistan that remains Islam-allergic against the overwhelming wishes of its peoples ! Thank God, nothing too serious happened to Imran Khan who should have been given better security cover in the first place, anyway. Generally though, Pakistani politicians should be more commited to keeping to their election pledges and delivering benefits and services to their populace rather than indulge in taking pot-shots at one another at the first decent opportunity. Pakistan has already lost one fantastic young leader in the late Madam Benazir Bhutto, so it shouldn’t keep on losing one young talent after another. Can Pakistanis please learn the right lessons at least after more than 7 decades !
