Khan was shot in the leg during his anti-government march, subsequently accusing Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the Interior Minister, and an intelligence official of plotting the attack, allegations denied by the military and government.
Following the shooting, Khan's supporters staged nationwide protests, blocking major roads and clashing with security forces, demanding the continuation of the march for early elections.

Fresh clashes rock France as protesters march on

Widespread clashes erupted across France as protesters marched against the cost of living, prompting a firm security backlash from President Macron's government.
Authorities deployed 70,000 security personnel, leading to nearly 1,000 arrests and two serious injuries amid an "extremely elevated level of violence" from "ultra-left" extremists.
Despite government claims of a more "positive" outcome than the previous week, riot police fired tear gas in multiple cities, sparking widespread anger over perceived assaults on the right to protest.
The unrest, which included clashes between far-right and "ultra-left" militants, highlights a febrile political atmosphere six months before presidential elections.
