Ex-PM Khan Party Resumes Long March to Capital Islamabad
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] After a weeklong pause due to an attempted liquidation on former Prime Minister Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality disorders...
, thousands of supporters resumed the "long march" to the Pakistain capital Islamabad on Thursday.

Last week, Khan said he would resume the protest to demand the removal of the government and immediate elections, after recovering from an liquidation attempt that left him maimed in Lahore hospital.

Khan, 70, sustained bullet wounds in his leg during a rally in Wazirabad on November 3. He will be addressing the march later on Thursday via a video link from his residence in Lahore where he is recuperating, as Aljazeera wrote.

In a tweet on Wednesday, the ousted PM said he discovered an alleged plot to assassinate him two months ago, adding he will disclose the name of a second military official allegedly involved in the plot during his address to supporters participating in the "long march".

"I had discovered the liquidation plot hatched against me almost two months ago & exposed it in RYK 24th Sept & Mianwali 7th Oct public rallies," he wrote. "Wazirabad liquidation attempt followed the script."

Khan believed the current politicians — including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the interior minister and a military general — were behind the attack.

But in a presser on Friday, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah rejected the allegations, saying that the Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

government was to blame for any security lapses in the state. "We see Imran Khan as a political opponent, not an enemy," he added.

The military’s office and Sharif condemned the shooting and ordered an investigation.

Earlier this week, Pakistain police filed a report into attempted liquidation of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, according to sources, who bore injury from multiple gun shots on his leg during the long march last week.
