Syed Ali Zafar, a senator and senior PTI leader, says one of Imran Khan’s supporters was killed in the shooting, reports Al Jazeera.
“One person has been killed and my heart goes out to the family. He was a participant in this peaceful march,” he told Al Jazeera.
Ali Zafar described the shooting as “a very tragic, sad and horrible incident” that “shocked the nation”.
“The ex-prime minister is stable and has just checked in to the hospital. He is apparently alright but nonetheless the issue is very serious – it can have very serious repercussions in the future politics of Pakistan,” he said.
He added that the other senior party leaders who were also wounded were “stable and as fine as possible in the circumstances”.
District police officer Ghazanfar Ali said one person was killed and nine others were wounded in the attack.
