"First they put up a campaign that I had committed blasphemy, or I was anti religion or something. And then they gave statements on it. Maryam Nawaz, Nawaz's daughter and two of the MNA'S (Member National Assembly), they gave statements that I had hurt the sentiments of the people. The ploy was to have bumped off in the name of a religion fanatic, you know just like Salman Taseer was killed. So this was the ploy and this was I disclosed on 24th September."

"From the Chief Justice of Pakistan (Umar Ata Bandial), I have asked him to hold an independent inquiry and his responsibility to establish rule of law. How am I supposed to get justice? I know these people did it because I have information within, my source from within the institution which told me. I knew within next couple of days they were going to do it, and three people are involved. Now If they are involved, I should have access to independent inquiry. But with these three people are in charge, there is no question of an inquiry."

STORYLINE:
Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan was in a stable condition on Friday after being shot and wounded during a protest march the day before, a senior leader from his party said.
Khan spoke to reporters late on Friday - his first public remarks since the shooting - and pledged that he will resume his protest once he has recovered from the bullet wound.
The bullet hit him in the right leg, above the ankle.
Khan’s protest march and rallies, which started last Friday, were peaceful until Thursday's attack in Wazirabad, a district in eastern Punjab province.
Sitting in a wheelchair, his right leg bandaged and elevated on a stool, Khan spoke from the Shaukat Khanum hospital, where he had surgery on Thursday night.
"(The protest) will have to wait until I am little bit more mobile but our protest will continue," he told reporters.
Khan accused Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan and army Gen. Faisal Naseer working for the Inter-Services Intelligence spy agency of orchestrating the shooting.
Khan offered no evidence for his allegations, which were rejected by Sharif's government and dismissed as a “pack of lies" by Information Minister Maryam Aurangzeb.
The spy agency said there was absolutely no truth to Khan's allegations.
The government says it has ordered a high-level probe.
The shooter, who was arrested at the scene of the attack, was still being questioned Friday, police said.
