ISLAMABAD: Minister for Interior Rana Sanaullah Khan challenged Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former Prime Minister Imran Khan to prove that he received four bullet wounds, saying that he will quit politics forever if he managed to do so.

Imran was shot at and injured evening when a suspect, standing in front of container carrying PTI chief and senior party leaders, showered a volley of bullets with an automatic pistol. One person died in incident, while several PTI leaders were injured.

Immediately after shooting, Imran was taken to Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital (SKMCH) in Lahore. Dr Faisal Sultan, Chief Executive Officer of Hospital said that PTI Chief was hit by four bullets to his leg.

Talking to journalists outside Parliament Interior Minister said that government is ready to be a part of investigation of attack on Imran.

He demanded that a fair medical check-up be performed on former premier by an impartial medical board for investigation and verification on whether he received four bullet wounds or not.

Sanaullah said that Pakistan Army is a disciplined institute and no one can deviate from official policy of the institution and if someone dares to do so, he or she will have to face consequences.

Regarding extension of Army Chief, he said that statement of DG ISPR is sufficient. He said that provincial government is instigating people to protest and Punjab police is facilitating protesters. "Imran Khan took three names because he wants anarchy in country," said Sanaullah, adding that using judiciary and Pakistan Army for politics is devastating for country.

"PTI has wasted enough time and it is too late for long march, however, government is ready to receive them and had completed all arrangements by November 4," he further said.
