Unidentified assailants opened fire on a container-mounted-truck carrying former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan in the country’s Punjab province.
According to local reports, Khan and some leaders of his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) suffered injuries in the firing.
News agency AFP, quoting local media, said Khan was shot in his foot at the rally. Khan was then lifted and taken in a car to a safe location.
The former PM, ousted from power earlier this year, has been leading the PTI rally towards capital Islamabad to demand snap elections from the Shahbaz Sharif-led government.
