This year is destined to be unusual, the smoke of Abe's assassination seems to have not yet dissipated, and the prime minister of another country fell at the gunpoint of the assassin again, this time by former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, I believe that many compatriots have heard of this former prime minister of Pakistan Railway, who has a particularly good relationship with us, and he has repeatedly angered foreign journalists for China.
The assassination occurred on November 3, when Imran Khan was rally with his supporters in the eastern province of Punjab when gunmen strafed Imran Khan in front of a container as his caravan drove past the city of Wazirabad to give a speech. The Assassins fired multiple rounds, hitting Imran Khan and four of his entourage. The recoil, which bounced high and the gunman failed to aim accurately in nervousness, missed the point, and one of the assassins armed with a pistol was quickly subdued by a brave onlooker, and Imran Khan was shot in the leg.
Some witnesses at the scene said that because Imran Khan and others were standing high on the roof of the truck, with a fence fence on the chest and abdomen, the bullet shot from the bottom up only hit the leg position. If the shooting angle is slightly higher and hits the upper body area of the crowd on the roof of the car, it may cause an even greater tragedy.
In addition, according to the video at the scene, Imran Khan's bodyguards immediately reacted with lightning to protect Imran Khan, while security personnel quickly counterattacked the assassins. A crowd bravely rushed to stop the assassin, despite the assassin's gun, allowing Imran Khan to escape. The brave pounce of the warrior not only saved Imran Khan, but also saved Pakistan from getting into more trouble, so the supporters on the scene cheered for the warrior, and the Sven-looking Pakistani became a hero.
The attack resulted in one death and seven injuries, including four senior members of the Justice Movement of Pakistan, including Imran Khan, who is being transferred to a hospital in Lahore where he is reportedly in good spirits following his injuries. Pakistan's prime minister, foreign minister and other high-level leaders of the current government immediately issued a statement through social media, strongly condemning the attack and announcing that a high-level independent investigation would be opened into the incident.
According to the preliminary interrogation, the arrested murderer insisted that he planned and carried out the assassination, admitted that he was an independent crime, and the motive for the assassination was even more absurd, saying that because the music played at the rally was too loud, he used the assassination to express his dissatisfaction.
In fact, there were signs of Imran Khan's assassination as early as March and April this year, when Pakistan's Minister of Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chowdhury revealed that Pakistan's security agencies reported a plot to assassinate Prime Minister Imran Khan. Security agents repeatedly told Imran Khan to install bulletproof glass in front of his podium, but he dismissively refused, saying that "my death will come at the will of Allah." Don't worry. ”
In a televised speech on March 31, Imran Khan criticized the involvement of "foreign forces" and their eagerness to "overthrow" his government through a vote of no confidence. He also said that a foreign country (who tried not to name names) had sent a message insisting that he needed to be "removed" or Pakistan would face consequences. Imran Khan also "accidentally" named the country - the United States. At that time he said exactly like this: "America - oh, not the United States, but a foreign country whose name I cannot name..."
Pakistan's former prime minister, Imran Khan, arguably one of the biggest headaches for the United States, has been tough on foreign relations with the United States during his tenure. Numerous public criticisms of U.S. policy toward Pakistan. Even after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, he remained neutral and refused to become a pawn of the United States. In addition, Imran Khan has always opposed the US-led war on terror and military activities in Pakistan, so he became a thorn in the side of the United States soon after taking office.
Of course, who exactly wants Imran Khan's life is still inconclusive. And Pakistan has been fighting among itself. Fortunately, no matter who comes to power in Pakistan, no matter how unstable the society is, diplomatic relations with China have never been affected. Therefore, as a good brother of Pakistan, of course, it is not convenient for us to interfere in Pakistan's internal affairs, and we can only wish Imran Khan a speedy recovery, and at the same time hope that the Pakistani people can live a prosperous and peaceful life as soon as possible.
