Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday called on his supporters to continue their “long march” to the capital Islamabad after recovering from a gunshot wound sustained during a rally last week.

In a video address, Khan vowed to continue his fight for “real freedom” and urged his supporters to remove blockades as his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party resumed rally in Wazirabad—the same place where the shooting occurred.
