Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has mocked former prime minister Imran Khan and called the attack on him a ‘drama’.
According to the PDM chief, Imran Khan outshined Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan in acting skills. Casting doubts on the injuries sustained by Khan, Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that initially, he had sympathised with Imran Khan upon hearing about the Wazirabad episode, but now it seems that it was a drama. Rahman was quoted as saying by the Dawn newspaper on the cricketer-turned-politician.
Khan, who suffered bullet injuries in the right leg last week, was discharged from the hospital yesterday after undergoing successful surgery. On Sunday afternoon following Khan’s remarks, a spokesman for the provincial government said he had been discharged from the hospital and left for his home in Lahore.

Khan said his supporters’ long march towards the capital calling for early elections, which was disrupted by the attack, would re-start on Tuesday but that he would not join in person while he recovered from his injuries.
Former foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi will lead the rally in coming weeks in the eastern province of Punjab, Khan said.
