LAHORE: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Saturday condemned the assassination attack on PTI Chairman Imran Khan and shared about cancelling a presser that he was supposed to address following his return from China the same day.

The prime minister, while addressing a press conference in Lahore, extended his wishes to Khan and other injured in the attack for a speedy recovery, and prayed for the victim who was shot dead in the attack.

“The attack is condemnable, however, when the nation is being pushed towards devastation by false narratives it is my responsibility that I play a positive role to protect the people,” he said, urging the PTI chief to present evidence to support his allegations.
