Imran Khan News: Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan issued his first statement after sustaining a bullet injury during his rally in Pakistan’s Gujranwala. Thanking almighty, the former Prime Minister said, “Allah has given me another life, I will fight back Inshallah.”

Khan was injured in firing during his rally in Pakistan’s Gujranwala and was rushed to a hospital. He was seen bandaged on his right leg and and being moved into an SUV. The attacker, who has been arrested, fired at Imran Khan when the former cricketer was standing atop a container-truck to address his ongoing “long march” against the Shehbaz Sharif government.

The incident brought back chilling memories of how former prime minister Benazir Bhutto was shot dead during a rally in 2007, though Khan escaped serious injury, said news agencies.
