Khan made the remarks in a live video broadcast on social media from a hospital in the eastern city of Lahore, where he is receiving treatment after being shot during a protest march three days ago. The government has said they will investigate the shooting.

Khan said his supporters’ long march to the capital for early elections, which was marred by the attack, would resume on Tuesday but that he would not join in person while he recovers from his injuries. .
