WAZIRABAD, Pakistan (Reuters) -The party of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, who survived an apparent assassination attempt on Thursday, will hold nationwide protests until its demand for political change in the country is met, a close Khan aide said.

Khan was shot in the leg on Thursday as he waved to crowds from a truck-mounted container from which he was leading a protest march on Islamabad to press for early elections and the resignation of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
