Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan says an anti-government march he led demanding early elections will resume. The protest was suspended after he was wounded when his convoy came under fire on Thursday.
                
Khan released a video message on Sunday from a hospital in the eastern city of Lahore where he is being treated for leg wounds.
                
Khan said, &quot;We&#039;ve decided we&#039;ll restart our long march on Tuesday from the same place, Wazirabad, where I and 11 other comrades were shot at.&quot;
                
Khan&#039;s party later rescheduled the restart to Wednesday. Khan said he will rejoin the march in about two weeks&#039; time, when it reaches the city of Rawalpindi, near the capital, Islamabad.
                
Khan was injured when a gunman shot at the truck he was riding in during a rally. One person was killed and several were hurt. Police arrested the suspected shooter on the spot.
                
The government has asked the Supreme Court to set up a judicial commission to probe the attack. Khan said he doubts the investigation will be free and fair.
                
He has accused current Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the interior minister and an army general of plotting the attack on him.
                
Khan&#039;s march on the capital started from Lahore on October 28. He launched the rolling protest after the country&#039;s Election Commission disqualified him as a lawmaker. The commission said he failed to disclose proceeds from the sale of gifts he received while serving as prime minister.
                
Khan was ousted as prime minister in April in a no-confidence vote organized by opposition parties. He claims domestic and foreign forces conspired to remove him, and he has been urging his supporters to protest against the Sharif government. The government dismisses Khan&#039;s conspiracy allegations.
                
NHK interviewed Khan the day before the shooting. He repeated his claim that he was toppled by a conspiracy that did not reflect the will of the Pakistani people.
                
Khan said the march he has been leading is a peaceful protest against &quot;what is happening in Pakistan,&quot; which he described as &quot;unfair, unjust, unconstitutional illegal, undemocratic.&quot;
                
Khan said his country&#039;s politics and economy have become much worse since he was removed from office.
He accused the current government of mismanaging the economy.
                
Khan said neither the business nor the farming communities are happy, and people are suffering because of inflation and increasing unemployment. He said &quot;free and fair elections&quot; are &quot;the only one way out of this crisis.&quot;
                
The government says a general election will not be held until after the current administration&#039;s term expires next August.
                
Pakistan has been struggling not only with a weak economy but also with damages from catastrophic floods that submerged a third of the country at one point.
                
The standoff between Khan and his political enemies looks set to roll on.
