Islamabad: Former Prime Minister Imran Khan, narrowly escaping an assassination attempt, will become stronger in Pakistani politics. According to political observers, it is possible to gain greater popular support in the general elections to be held next year and to be overwhelmed by a wave of sympathy. In the by-elections of eight constituencies held last month, Imran participated in six seats and won all seats.
The main demand of the long march under his leadership is that general elections be held early. There were strong hints in Imran’s warning that the rest will be told when the demonstration, which started from Lahore, reaches the capital. The government mechanisms tried to defeat the demonstration. Authorities have warned TV channels not to broadcast the Long March. Police have ordered hotels not to grant rooms to those attending the demonstration. The Imran administration was upset by facing the challenges head on. Authorities have blocked the road to Imran in many ways.
Supporters of Imran say the steps taken by the court and the Electoral Commission are in the interest of the government. The details of the shooting are just emerging. The killer said he tried to kill Imran because he was leading people on the wrong path and not at the instigation of anyone. “I only targeted Imran Khan.
I didn’t want to hurt anyone else. There was a plan to kill Imran from the start of the demonstration in Lahore. There is no one behind me. He arrived at the meeting place by bicycle ‘- said the attacker in the confessional video. As soon as the incident was reported, the government ordered an investigation. The ranks of Imran are furious. If they take the path of confrontation, Pakistan’s politics will become disordered. Imran Khan was ousted from the government in a no-confidence vote last April.
