Pakistan's ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan was shot in the foot at a rally Thursday, according to an official from his party, which said the incident was an assassination attempt.
A bullet hit Khan in his foot after a gunman opened fire, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf senior leader Asad Umar said.
At least one person was killed in the incident, according to Faisal Javed, a senior PTI politician and close Khan ally who received a wound to the head in the attack. The victim's name has not been released. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who came to power after Khan lost a parliamentary vote of no confidence in April, condemned Thursday's attack on his political rival on Twitter.
The commission said its decision was based on the grounds that Khan had "made false statements" regarding the declaration of the sale of gifts sent to him by the leaders of Saudi Arabia and Dubai while in office -- an offense that is illegal under the country's constitution.
