Pakistan's former prime minister, Imran Khan, tells thousands of supporters from behind bulletproof glass that he is ending his protest march to Islamabad because it would cause 'havoc'.
abc.net.au/news/former-pakistan-prime-minister-imran-khan-public-appearance/101703246Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan — in his first public appearance since being wounded in a gun attack earlier this month — says he is calling off his protest march to the country's capital, Islamabad, because he feared it would cause havoc in the country.
The protests were to culminate in a march to Islamabad, threatening to worsen political turmoil in the nuclear-armed country, which is also battling an economic crisis. He named Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and a senior military official of plotting his assassination, but both the government and military have denied involvement.
On Saturday, Mr Khan arrived on stage using a walking frame and addressed the crowd from behind bulletproof glass. He said he had been told by various security sources there was still a threat to his life.
