According to information, Asad Umar, was called to the hospital by Imran Khan to give an official statement on his behalf. In the trending video, Asad Umar, boldly mentioned the aforementioned names.
Former Pakistan Prime Minister, Imran Khan, was shot in the foot on Thursday at a political rally, but is in a stable condition, a senior aide said.
Khan was wounded when shots were fired from the crowd near the city of Gujranwala, his senior aide, Raoof Hasan, told AFP.
“This was an attempt to kill him, to assassinate him,” Hasan said, adding that one alleged attacker had been shot dead and a second taken into police custody.
“He is being taken to a hospital in Lahore, but he is not seriously wounded. A bullet hit him in the leg,” Umar told reporters.
Senator Faisal Javed from Khan’s party, who was injured in the incident, talked to local media with blood on his shirt. “One political worker has been killed and some political aides are injured including Imran Khan. He is out of danger and we pray for him,” he said.
Zeeshan Bakhsh, a local reporter who was present, told the local media that in the beginning, no one knew what was happening and some thought it was fireworks. “After the first burst I saw someone lying on the ground […] everything happened in 15 seconds,” he said.
The Pakistani prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif, said: “I condemn the incident of firing on PTI chairman Imran Khan in the strongest words. I have directed the interior minister for an immediate report on the incident. I pray for the recovery and health of the PTI chairman and other injured people.”
The attack happened less than a week after Khan began his march from Lahore, the capital of Punjab province, along with thousands of supporters. Since his ousting in a no-confidence vote in parliament in April, Khan has alleged that he was the victim of a conspiracy engineered by his successor, Sharif, and the US – claims that the new premier and Washington have both denied.
