Lahore: Celebrities and athletes condemned the incident and sent well wishes to PTI Chairman Imran Khan after a man shot at him during the long march rally in Gujranwala. The ex-prime minister is safe and the bullets reportedly went through his body, but he has not sustained any injuries on his bone.

He was shifted to Shaukat Khanum, Lahore, after being treated at an unknown location earlier. Pakistan's flamboyant skipper Babar Azam strongly condemned the "heinous attack" on Khan and prayed that may Allah keep him and Pakistan safe. Pakistani batter Imam-ul-Haq said violence in any form can never be accepted as he prayed for the quick recovery of Khan.

Pakistan's short-format vice-captain Shadab Khan also hoped that Khan recovers soon. Former cricketer Wasim Akram who played under Khan when they won the 1992 World Cup said he was deeply disturbed by the events that unfolded.
