Islamabad (HRNW) The former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan on Thursday formally resumed his march from Wazirabad, where an attempt was made to assassinate him last week.
Addressing the gathered crowd via video link from his Lahore mansion, Imran said that they will now not stop and instead gain further momentum in their march.
Talking about the attack, he said that he had received information about the attack two months before it took place and that he had informed the public about it in at least two of his public addresses.
On the suspect’s apprehension, Imran said that it was apparent to everyone that he was part of the coverup since immediately after his video came out, it was being propagated that the attacker worked alone and that he was allegedly motivated due to religious extremism.
“The way he was talking it was apparent he was repeating like a parrot what he had been taught,” Imran said.
He added that the retrieval of different types of ammunition fired and the different directions from which gunfire came proved that despite the suspect’s claims of acting alone were false.
Condoling the family of Moazzam Gondal, who had lost his life when tackling the gunman, Imran said that the scenes where his children are trying to revive him unsuccessfully were heart-wrenching and that the responsibility of raising his children will be the party’s.
Imran added that their march would not stop and would only go from strength to strength.
