Imran Khan said he was made aware of a plan to assassinate him a day before he was shot in the leg at a rally in Punjab province. Pakistan police fired tear gas to disperse protesters in Rawalpindi, Lahore and Karachi after they blocked roads. TV footage showed police dragging some of the demonstraters into vehicles. Khan’s party had called for nationwide demonstrations after a shooting at a rally injured the former prime minister. Naeem Shah, deputy superintendent of operations with the Karachi police, said no arrests have been made so far. “People are protesting and the police are trying to stop them,” he said. The ex-cricket star has earlier blamed Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Interior Minister Rana Sanuallah and a top general from the intelligence agency for the attack on his rally in eastern Punjab. Sharif’s government has rejected the allegations. It has condemned the incident and called for an investigation.
