Islamabad: Many world leaders including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned assassination attempt on former Prime Minister Imran Khan. “Attack on Imran Khan and his supporters is completely unacceptable and I strongly condemn this violence.

It has no place in politics, in any democracy, or in our society. I’m wishing a speedy recovery to Imran and all who were injured today,” Trudeau wrote on his official Twitter handle. Britain’s Minister of State Zac Goldsmith, terming news of incident appalling said that Imran Khan is strong and will be back on his feet. “Those forces in Pakistan who believe they can stifle democracy in that country through murder are wrong and will be seen to be wrong,” he added. Reuters quoted Indian foreign ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi as saying: “It’s a development that just took place.

We’re closely keeping an eye on and we’ll continue to monitor ongoing developments.” Renowned religious scholar Mufti Menk expressed shock and sadness over news. “I wish him well and a speedy recovery. Violence in all forms is totally wrong and unacceptable, no matter what our differences may be,” he added. Nobel peace prize winner Malala Yousufzai said that attacks on leaders of any political belief or party are always wrong. “Violence is never an acceptable protest. Wishing Imran Khan a full recovery.”
