Tried To Kill Imran Khan As He Is Misleading People, Says Attacker

Islamabad: Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was shot at with an AK-47 during his ‘freedom’ rally on Thursday.

A video has surfaced on social media showing a man who allegedly attacked Imran Khan.

In the video, the attacker is heard saying that he tried to kill the former prime minister of Pakistan as he was misleading the people.

“I did it because he [Imran Khan] was misleading the people. I wanted to kill only Imran Khan and no one else…I came alone on my bike. I made the decision when he left Lahore. I acted alone, nobody else is involved,” the attacker said.

Meanwhile, Imran has been hospitalised with a bullet injury to his right leg.

His former minister Fawad Chowdhury has claimed the attack to be an assassination attempt on Khan.
