Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan was injured when a gunman opened fire on a political rally in Wazirabad, located in Punjab province. Officials from his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), confirmed that Khan sustained a bullet injury to his foot and is out of danger.

At the time of the attack, Imran Khan was leading a long march from Lahore toward Islamabad, calling for immediate general elections. Since his removal from office through a no-confidence vote in April, the former Prime Minister has addressed large public gatherings across the country.

Imran Khan, who served as Pakistan’s 19th prime minister after taking office in August 2018, has repeatedly claimed that his ouster was the result of a planned conspiracy.

Imran Khan’s public life spans more than four decades and touches sport, philanthropy, politics, and social reform. For many Pakistanis, he first emerged as a symbol of national pride when he led the country’s cricket team to victory in the 1992 World Cup. Yet his later work, particularly in healthcare, social welfare, and governance, has shaped his legacy in ways that reach far beyond the boundary lines of a cricket field. Whether admired or criticised, his services to Pakistan and his advocacy on global platforms have left a mark that continues to influence public debate and civic life.

The world’s richest countries have not done enough to combat global warming, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Friday, adding his country had done more than any other in the world to combat rising emissions relative to its economic means.

Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday launched the Naya Pakistan Qaumi Sehat Card scheme to provide health insurance to families across Punjab, Islamabad, Azad Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan and Tharparkar.
