Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) leader Dr Yasmin Rashid on Thursday said PTI chief Imran was doing fine.

Former prime minister Khan got injured when two men reportedly opened fire near the reception camp at Allahwala Chowk, Wazirabad, during PTI’s long march.

In a statement, Yasmin Rashid said Imran sustained two bullet injuries to his leg. She said she had asked him to get bulletproof glass installed on the container.

“Now you have CROSSED THE LINE. You CANNOT DETER US. You cannot. Imran Khan is injured but safe. There are some critical but we will NOT BE DETERRED and we will take you to task! May Allah protect us all,” she tweeted.

PTI leader Faisal Javed, who also got injured in the attack, said their morale was high. He said the PTI chief was alive and kicking. “The movement of freedom will not stop now,” he said.

Remembering the Model Town tragedy, another PTI leader Farrukh Habib blamed Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah for the attack. He said Rana Sanaullah repeatedly threatened Khan of taking his life.

“Today the coward has got attack on Imran, leader of the Muslim Ummah. The government will be responsible, if anything happens to Imran,” he said.
