Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan, who sustained head and back injuries after falling from a lifter during an electoral rally in Lahore on May 7, was discharged from Shaukat Khanum Hospital early on Wednesday.
However, he will continue to receive regular physiotherapy and is expected to wear the spinal support for a few weeks.
The cricketer-turned-politician is recovering speedily and yesterday walked unaided for more than 300m, said Khawaja Nazir, the spokesman for Lahore’s Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital, adding he would have to use the brace worn around his back for up to six weeks.
Imran Khan’s party emerged as the third strongest political force in the May 11 general elections, wherein Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) scripted a historical win.
