Islamabad:
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman and former cricketer Imran Khan
was seriously injured after falling off a "lifter" carrying him up
the stage from where he was to address an election rally in
Lahore, media reports said. He is out of danger.
The Tehreek-e-Insaf chief along with a couple of others fell from
a height of 14 to 20 ft after apparently seeming to lose his
balance, reported Geo News.
He was taken to the Shaukat Khanum hospital for treatment, the
report said, adding he seemed to have sustained an injury on the
back of his head.
TV footage also showed a bleeding Imran Khan being carried by his
associates in a semi-conscious state to a vehicle which then drove
off to the hospital.
Tehree-e-Insaaf spokesman Ejaz Chaudhry said Imran Khan received
injuries on his head but was out of danger, reported Xinhua.
Prime Minister Mir Hazar Khan Khoso expressed his deep concern
over the head injury to Imran Khan, the PM's office said.
The prime minister has wished him well and hoped for his early
recovery, a statement said.
The news of Imran Khan's injuries sent a message of shock to his
supporters across the country and many people rushed to the
hospital.
Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif and other
leaders have prayed for Khan's early recovery.
Police sources said that preliminary investigation suggests that
it was an accident but they are investigating.
