a party atmosphere is emron. cons convoy rolls into town. ah, good then out of nowhere, a series of gunshots fill the air. and pakistan's, former prime minister, goes down. his quickly carried away and taken to a place of safety. clearly in pain, he separate a gunshot wound, scans late revealing bullet fragments in his leg. and he's not the only one injured of the iran. connie's safe and being golden, one friend has died. some others are seriously injured. why a little while later, the 70 year old appears again outside waving to supporters before being moved into a car and driven to hospital for treatments, hulu. this was the 7th day of an anti government protest. march led by the former cricketer turn politician. he's demanding new snap elections after being ousted as prime minister in a conference vote in april. speaking earlier this week,

he insisted the rallies would be peaceful. i don't see any vitamin because we've run to 6 years. we've never been doesn't violent realities login to supreme court. we're not going to break any laws of the law. in round, con has been accused of creating a political crisis in pakistan, a divided country, which is no stranger to political violence. and this attack only seems to have found the flames with his supporters taking to the streets in anger. and he, believing this was an assassination attempts for more, we have dw spanish java joining us in the studio. and 1st off, i kind of want to back up here at what is this march cons been on? is it kind of a revolution to take that power or something? yes, melissa and non hon. faith that his scanned been aimed to bring at evolution and back of that. and it all started this year when he was ousted to a no confidence what he faced, dumb industry establishment,

conspired with his political open hands under the influence of the us. and so he believed that his removal was illegitimate, and since then he has demanded, he has been demanding an early election because he believes that he has the political momentum. he has a blick support and through this them on which i think is his last big assault on the state. he is demanding an early election. he believes that right now, if an election is announced, he has that board and support of from the public to which he can become a defense next leader, next prime minister. this is such a populist play. now how are people responding to this assassination attempt? what are you hearing? people are shocked. they're also sympathizing with him, but they're also very ready charge. and his dad is a bit, an assassination attempt to think compared to the assassination of fox and former

prime minister, being as the poto, which was a get with how to get us traffic development buckets on. and the country was and goes into death for days. and we've seen after this attempted to print, attempted to fascination. they have been caused for country wide protests by indian hans political party a which means that there is a possibility of violence or one condition. why and of course, the convention in pleasing in the country. and do you think that's what's going to happen next to what will the impact of this incident b, i thing and wrong hahn is not going to back it down. he has made the state which he calls an illegitimate, an important government. and also the military scottish ment i think is not going to back down. he has made these really big enemies and it seems like when he feels better and he to covers yes, going to join the march. and his going to lead the march to the capital where he's going to protest demand for an early chance. and it seems,

if the and so far the government is also not showing any flexibility, which means is a film it. and in this kind of situation and with so many people coming to the capital did is going to be really a did, is this, there's a high chance that there could be violence, confrontation, and a political chaos in the country. i mean, this sounds like a serious crisis and how would you rate this in terms of recent political history the last few decades? what's happening right now? so m long han and his senior members of his political party directly accusing the prime minister of the country. the indeed and minister of the country, and they have also named a high senior, a security official of belonging to pakistan's intelligence agency. these are seated acquisitions. so they are saying that they are behind this attack and are all doors, the government, and also the military has condemned this attack. but it seems like their rhetoric,

or did anger towards him is not going to, it's not mailing down. and which means that the extension is just going to life right now there's such a bad stalemate that i don't know what will happen. hopefully maybe there is some negotiation or some understanding some flexibility shawn from both side or which can meadow down the situation. it hm. you've talked about this before, but um, can you tell me a little bit about the kind of disinformation misinformation that's going on, given this incident, i can totally imagine people imagining that this person who tried to kill him. it's part of some kind of plot or it's a conspiracy theory. online, you've talked about this before to can you give me a sense of what kind of situation we have online? so the political propaganda from all sides is really in dense and high. and when

to see a suspect was taken into custody, it's really strange that immediately a video of him was released in which his thing that no one is behind me. it was, i did it single handedly, and i only wanted to assassinate him, long hon. because i believe that he is misleading the nation and whistling in the country. so these are very suspicious acts and local government. they have suspended oil. the police officers that how come to sleep was released and, and on internet, on social media we see a really bad fight going on between all of parties involved finished other. thank you so much for joining us. ah, india has one of the largest pharmaceutical industries in the world, producing drugs for many global south countries. but quality control and safety are
