PTI Chairman Imran Khan, Faisal Javed and Ahmed Chattha were injured in an assassination attempt on Thursday evening during the party’s long march in Wazirabad. Imran, the former prime minister, was shot in the leg, according to two party leaders. Celebrities across the country have been sending their prayers to Imran and condemning the attack.

Taking to Twitter, Osman Khalid Butt made a prayer for the entire PTI convoy.

Zimbabwean Islamic scholar Mufti Ismail Menk also tweeted, wishing Imran well and a speedy recovery.

Singer-actor Haroon Shahid informed his followers that Imran is out of danger and is safe.

Actor Adnan Siddiqui wrote that he is “shocked beyond words” and prayed for the speedy recovery of everyone “injured in this violence.”

TV show host Fakhr-e-Alam and singer Rohail Hyatt also prayed for their safety.

Actor Veena Malik tweeted that the bullets were not fired at Imran but the hearts of 220 million Pakistanis.

“Assassination attempt on Imran Khan! heard he is safe but injured,” comedian and actor Arslan Naseer tweeted with a prayer for him.

Actor Hira Tareen prayed for Khan’s recovery and said she hopes the culprit is found.

Actor Armeena Khan questioned if anyone could get away with this in today’s world and Frieha Altaf sent prayers for the former cricketer.

Imran’s former teammate and cricketer Wasim Akram said he was “deeply disturbed: by the events and said his prayers were with Imran and everyone there.

Actors Sana Javed and Dananeer Mobeen and designer Maheen Kardar took to their Instagram stories to pray for Imran and the PTI leaders’ recovery.

Singer Ali Zafar likened the moment to Benazir Bhutto assassination and praised Imran’s spirit.

Actor Maya Ali said she was praying hard for Imran and everyone injured and called this a moment of “history repeating itself”.

Imran and other members of his party are being taken to a hospital in Lahore for treatment.

Hopefully all are well but do note that the person firing was not directly firing but was firing in air. The person in blue clothes got in line of fire once someone tried to contain the shooter. It was planted by PTI that is why the gun was not aimed at leaders but was aiming at the sky. How come a target killer not getting any victims with the first burst of fires? Nice face saving for Imran Khan. Well played. It is a cover drive.
