Imran Khan vows not to 'bow down' after assassination attempt; pledges to continue protest march

<p>The gunman who opened fire at Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan during a protest march has confessed that he tried to assassinate the cricketer-turned-politician and claimed that he did so because the music being played at the agitation was interfering with azan (call for prayer).</p>

<p>A confessional video of the attacker was shared by Imran Khan's former media adviser Omar R Quraishi, showing the gunman at a police station.</p>

<p>The assailant said that his intention was to kill Khan, and no one else. He further said that the idea to eliminate the 70-year-old politician originated when Khan began the anti-government rally from Lahore’s Liberty Chowk on October 28.</p>

<p>In the clip, he can be heard saying, “I decided to kill him today (Thursday). This idea came to me when Khan started his long march. I am alone and nobody is with me. I came on my motorbike and I parked the bike in the shop of my uncle."</p>

'Baseless and irresponsible allegations,' Pakistan Army responds to Imran's accusations

<p>In Pakistan, political figures have previously been attacked. Fortunately, Imran Khan, the former prime minister, very narrowly escaped and sustained bullet shots in his right leg during his long march for "real freedom" on Thursday in Wazirabad. Six members of his party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), including its leader Faisal Javed and Ahmed Chattha, sustained injuries in the attack.&nbsp;A&nbsp;bigger tragedy was averted because one man had the presence of mind to tackle the gunman with bare hands. He is being hailed as a ‘hero’ by many Pakistanis.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Supporters of Khan are hailing the man who fought off the armed assailant as a hero. Ibtisam Hassan, who is reportedly in his early thirties, has been named by some as the "saviour". According to reports, he was scooped up on the shoulders and lavished with compliments for his bravery.</p>

He spotted a man loading his gun and keeping an eye on the 70-year-old PTI leader.</p>

<p>Ibtisam claimed that after the alleged shooter fired one <a href="https://www.wionews.com/south-asia/imran-khan-vows-not-to-bow-down-following-assassination-attempt-continue-protest-march-531156">shot at Khan</a>, he&nbsp;lunged at the assailant, seized his hand, and forced it down towards the ground.

WION Fineprint | Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan shot

Just as former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's caravan was approaching the reception camp, there was indiscriminatory firing and there was complete chaos at the site. The bullets were aimed at the caravan and at least nine people were injured and one died.

Imran Khan attacked: 1 dead, over 10 injured after firing at former Pakistan PM's long march

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidfHVsmfQu3lU2" /><meta charset="utf-8" /></p>

<p>Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan is "out of danger" and stable after being shot in the leg two to three times at a political rally on Thursday (November 1). Massive protests have erupted in different parts of the country as supporters of the chief of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party show anger over the shocking incident that killed one and injured 13 people.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The cricketer-turned-politician was ousted from government in April after a no-confidence motion, and ever since he has railed against the establishment and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's government, calling it a "conspiracy".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Several PTI party officials were hit by the spray of gunfire and Khan escaped with a bullet wound to his right calf. The firing was aimed at their modified container truck as it slowly drove through a thick crowd near Gujranwala.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In an update on his health, Dr Faisal Sultan, CEO of Shaukat Khanum, where Khan was operated, said that the former PM is stable. He added that the bullet fragments remain and he was taken to the operation theatre. Dr Sultan also said that the bullet has chipped one of his Tibia bones and that the doctors will make a detailed statement later.&nbsp;</p>

<p>PTI's Secretary General Asad Umar&nbsp;after the "assassination attempt" on Khan said that the former PM has named three suspects who could be behind today's attack.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Umar said: "Shortly before this video, Imran Khan called us and told us to convey this message to the nation on his behalf. He said that he had received some information earlier as well. He said that he believes three people were involved in the attack."&nbsp;</p>

Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan is "out of danger" and stable after being shot in the leg two to three times at a political rally on Thursday (November 1).

Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan is "out of danger" and stable after being shot in the leg two to three times at a political rally on Thursday (November 1). Massive protests have erupted in different parts of the country as supporters of the chief of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party show anger over the shocking incident that killed one and injured 13 people. The cricketer-turned-politician was ousted from government in April after a no-confidence motion, and ever since he has railed against the establishment and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's government, calling it a "conspiracy". Several PTI party officials were hit by the spray of gunfire and Khan escaped with a bullet wound to his right calf. The firing was aimed at their modified container truck as it slowly drove through a thick crowd near Gujranwala. ALSO READ | Imran Khan assassination attempt: Pakistan's turbulent past includes many political killings In an update on his health, Dr Faisal Sultan, CEO of Shaukat Khanum, where Khan was operated, said that the former PM is stable. He added that the bullet fragments remain and he was taken to the operation theatre. Dr Sultan also said that the bullet has chipped one of his Tibia bones and that the doctors will make a detailed statement later. PTI's Secretary General Asad Umar after the "assassination attempt" on Khan said that the former PM has named three suspects who could be behind today's attack. Umar said: "Shortly before this video, Imran Khan called us and told us to convey this message to the nation on his behalf. He said that he had received some information earlier as well. He said that he believes three people were involved in the attack."
