Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, who was shot at a political rally on Thursday, blames establishment figures for a plot to kill him
Tensions escalated in Pakistan on Friday as former Prime Minister Imran Khan blamed establishment figures for a plot to kill him – a claim strenuously denied by governing and security officials. A day after after he survived a shooting at a political rally outside the town of Gujranwala, Punjab province, Khan gave a rambling speech at a hospital in the city of Lahore where he was recovering from the injuries he sustained.
The need of the hour is for calm in the country and not for irresponsible statements,” the ISI said in a statement. Khan had said he knew about the plot to kill him a day before it happened, and claimed there were two shooters involved in his attack. “There was a burst from one side, and another coming from the front. There were two people,” Khan said when talking about the attack. Khan has locked horns with the government since his dramatic ouster in a no-confidence vote in April.
