A day after being shot at during Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's rally in Wazirabad, former prime minister Imran Khan, who has been admitted to a hospital, said that God has given him a second life. This was his first appearance on camera after the attack on Thursday.
According to ARY News, Khan received multiple bullet injuries on both of his legs. Shortly after the incident, he was taken to a hospital in Lahore.
In visuals accessed by India Today, a seemingly injured Khan was seen lying on a hospital bed with a cast on his right leg. His eyes were open and he could be seen murmuring too. Sources said that he deemed the situation his rebirth, granted by God.
“Imran Khan is stable, bullet fragments remain, and he has been taken to the Operation theatre. The bullet chipped one of his tibia bones. Doctors will make a detailed statement later”, says Dr Faisal Sultan of Shaukat Khanum Hospital said.
The 70-year-old was wounded when unknown assailants allegedly fired gunshots at the PTI supremo. Khan was shot while he was standing atop a container truck as it slowly drove through a thick crowd of supporters in Wazirabad in Pakistan's Punjab province.
