Imran Khan Assassination Attempt
On November 3rd during a political rally near the town of Gujranwala, 2022 former prime minister of Pakistan Imran Khan was engaged in an assassination attempt, but survived the shooting. The march to the Capital as it was called was an important rally for Khan’s attempt to undo his removal from office. A senior leader Asad Umar stated, “Yes, he has been shot, there are pellets lodged in his leg, his bone has been chipped, he has also been shot in his thigh.[1]
Imran Khan Conspiracy Concerns Against USA
During an exclusive interview with CNN’s Becky Andersen, former prime minister Imran Khan claimed that Donald Lu, assistant secretary of the US Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs, insisted that Imran Khan should be removed from office, as the sheer presence of Imran Khan in Pakistan is making the US’s ties with India and Afghanistan difficult. Khan indicated to CNN that Lu had made serious allegations that if Khan is not removed, Pakistan would “suffer consequences”. A US State Department spokesperson insisted to CNN that these rumors from Khan are false.[2] Khan supports his claims by referencing a undisclosed diplomatic cable from the US.
