PTI chief was injured after a man opened fire at him in Gujranwala near the party’s reception camp, sending the nearby participants of the long march into a panic.
The former prime minister sustained injuries on his leg and has been shifted to a hospital for treatment, a private news channel, however, the location is unknown for safety concerns.
Asad, quoting the PTI chairman, demanded that all three people — the premier, the interior minister, and the senior military officer — should be removed from their offices.
