At least seven people have been killed and 42 others wounded in a stampede following a political rally by opposition politician Imran Khan in central Pakistan, Sky New reported.
The deaths occurred in Multan city on Friday after the cricketer-turned-politician addressed a crowd to press his demand for the resignation of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif who he accuses of vote rigging in last year's elections.
Khan, along with populist cleric Tahir-ul-Qadri, has been staging a sit-in in the capital Islamabad since August 15. Protest rallies have also been held in other Pakistani cities.
