Pakistan's controversial former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, has survived an assassination attempt on his convoy while holding a protest march in the eastern city of Wazirabad.
He was wounded in the leg when a burst of gunfire hit his vehicle as he participated in a protest March against the government. One person, a Khan supporter, was killed and at least five others were injured. The gunman was also reportedly shot and killed.
There was no immediate official comment on the motive for the attack which allies say was an assassination bid.
The shooting has sparked demonstrations across the country in support of Khan.
