After bullets were fired at a gathering in Gujranwala, Imran Khan, a former Pakistani prime minister, was hit in the leg by a bullet.
A Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf official, Azhar Mashwani, verified to Al Jazeera that the politician had been shot in the leg but was not in danger.
Khan was transported to a Lahore hospital.
Who was responsible for the shooting attack was not immediately known.
Khan has been spearheading a protest march to Islamabad, the nation’s capital, and calling for immediate elections.
