“Ibtisam is a hero and I want to salute him,” he praised the PTI worker who caught the attacker.

Imran Khan said it was not an accident but an assassination plot prepared in September. He added that the country could not be considered as an independent state until the supremacy of law.

The PTI chief said that the long march will be intensified after the incident. He requested the CJP to look into the incidents including the non-registration of the FIR, Azam Swati’s harassment and Arshad Sharif’s killing.

Imran Khan vowed to continue struggling against corruption until his last breath. He announced that he will soon welcome the convoys of the PTI marchers in Rawalpindi.
