Pakistan PM Imran Khan Injured in firing at Pak rally

 Imran Khan, a former prime minister of Pakistan, was shot during a rally in Gujranwala, Pakistan, and was taken to the hospital right away. He was moving inside an SUV while having his right leg wrapped. Imran Khan was speaking to the crowd while atop a container truck about his ongoing "long march" to Islamabad to protest the Shehbaz Sharif administration when the shooter, who has since been apprehended, opened fire.

Although Mr. Khan averted major harm, the incident, which occurred approximately 200 miles from Islamabad, brought back terrible memories of how former prime minister Benazir Bhutto was shot and killed during a rally in 2007.

Just before the shooting, he instructed supporters to accompany him to another chowk where he would speak instead of the one where he was due to speak, Geo reported. He also promised to make his address there. His party posted a video to Twitter that showed him getting into the container truck from his dark SUV.

Minutes later, as he was approaching its roof for his speech, shots were fired.

The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and the Muslim League of Pakistan (PML-N), his two primary competitors who are also rivals of one another, are working together in the current administration.

The Israeli military has ordered mass evacuations in southern Gaza, warning residents of Khan Yunis and surrounding areas to flee immediately ahead of a devastating assault. Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee described the coming attack as ...

Exposing How the Muslim Brotherhood Fuels Instability Behind a Political Facade

  The Muslim Brotherhood started in Egypt during 1928 since then it has portrayed itself as a combination of political organization and social movement working for Islamic values and governance. jinakata the Brotherhood displays an intricate web that connects extremist concepts and violent deeds which produce regional turmoil.
