LAHORE: Imran Khan, a former prime minister and the head of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), announced on Thursday that a Joint Inquiry Team (JIT) has formally begun an investigation into the attempt on his life in Wazirabad.


The PTI leader was hurt on November 3 while leading the party's lengthy march in Wazirabad, Punjab, when he was the target of a gun attack. Moazzam Nawaz, a PTI supporter, was killed in the event, and 14 other people, including the former premier, were injured.
The former premier said that two gunmen, including the sniper who injured him in the leg, attempted to assassinate him in the city of Wazirabad while speaking to leading journalists at his Zaman Park mansion in Lahore.
Imran Khan asserted,
"I am 100% certain that sniper was hired to assassinate me in Wazirabad," and that Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi was not in charge of the attack case's FIR filing problem.

He continued by claiming that only early elections could save the nation's impending "economic disaster".

In an interview with FRANCE 24, Khan stated

His conviction that the latest attack on him was the result of an assassination conspiracy hatched by Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif

He claimed that the crowd in the eastern city of Wazirabad had a second shooter present and that the suspect who had been detained was merely a hoax.

The former prime minister promised to continue the anti government protests despite warnings that additional murder attempts were imminent.

Despite pledging to continue in spite of the dangers, he stated he would take "extra precautions" and insisted that the protest march would be peaceful.

They think that the only way to get me out of this circumstance would be to kill me. As a result, I think there's still a danger.
