Imran Khan’s recovery:

The latest news that got aired showed that Imran Khan is stable after the surgeries. Bullets were removed.

So the condition is stable. The whole nation is praying for his speedy recovery.

Reality check:

According to some eyewitnesses, there were two shooters. The man who was seen opening fires in the footage is merely to divert the attention. The direction of his gun is towards the sky but the people who got injured over the container said that the bullets came straight towards them meaning there were 3 to 4 shooters.

There was someone else who has an automatic weapon, and he opened fire toward the container. The one who gets caught by the police is merely a pawn who came to the scene. The actual shooter is allowed to plea.

It seems to have a proper agenda over the release of the video of Naveed Arain. It can be another propaganda against PTI as the attacker used the religion card. Proper investigations should be done in order to find the one who is responsible for the attack.
