Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan is in a stable condition after being shot and wounded during a protest march, a senior leader from his party said.

Mr Khan’s protest march and rallies were peaceful until Thursday afternoon’s attack, raising concerns about growing political instability in Pakistan, a country with a history of political violence and assassinations.
