Police code zero2/26/2023 Khan, ousted from power in a parliamentary vote of no confidence in April, says he will not join it while he recovers from his injuries. Senior PTI leader Faisal Javed Khan said the march will resume on November 10 from Wazirabad. Khans march to the federal capital, demanding fresh elections, was suspended after the shooting last week. The former cricketer-turned-politician, who underwent surgery, was discharged from the hospital on Sunday and moved to his private residence in the city, hospital officials said. He underwent surgery for the gunshot wounds at the Shaukat Khanum Hospital owned by his charitable organisation. “I was hit by 4 bullets,” Khan said in his address to the nation from a hospital in Lahore on November 4, a day after he was shot during a rally in Punjab province. Khan, 70, suffered bullet injuries in the right leg on Thursday when two gunmen fired a volley of bullets at him and others mounting on a container-mounted truck in the Wazirabad area of Punjab province, where he was leading a protest march against the Shehbaz Sharif government. In a confessional video, Basheer said he attacked Khan because he was “misleading the public.” Police said they nabbed Basheer from the crime scene after confessed to his crime. Punjab police said it has registered the FIR on the direction of the Supreme Court and nominated the suspect, Naveed, under Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act, and Section 302, 324, and 440 of the Pakistan Penal Code. Khan said that an FIR had not been registered on the botched “assassination attempt” on his life as authorities are refusing to file the case unless he removes an Army general’s name from the complaint. “I wonder if I, being the former prime minister of Pakistan, can’t get an FIR registered regarding an attack on me, what will happen to the common man,” he said. The delay in getting a case registered in Punjab province, which has PTI at the helm, has raised eyebrows. On Thursday, Chinese state media reported top leaders as saying they would not waver from the zero-Covid policy, echoing a vow last week to “unswervingly” stick to the strategy.“We are going to challenge the FIR in the apex court,” a senior leader of Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party Fawad Chaudhry said. Workers in environments where exposure to the virus is higher - such as cabin crews, airport staff and quarantine hotel personnel - will undergo shortened quarantines, the notice said. Places will be defined as “low-risk” if they record zero new infections for five successive days. People travelling from high- to low-risk areas will be required to undergo seven days of isolation at home, instead of staying in centralised facilities. In further signs of easing, the notice did away with the requirement to identify and isolate “secondary close contacts” - those who may have come into contact with people who recently passed near infected people.Ī domestic virus risk system has been reduced from three tiers to two, with areas to be labelled as either “high-risk” and subject to curbs, or “low-risk” with minimal restrictions. It added that a so-called “circuit breaker” mechanism on inbound flights would be abolished, bringing an end to a policy that saw the snap closures of flight routes if a certain proportion of passengers tested positive for the virus. The new rules single out “important business personnel” and “sports groups” as examples of privileged groups permitted to skip quarantine as long as they remain in a virus-secure “closed loop” for the duration of their stays.
