Imran Khan

Supporters of Imran Khan have formed a 'bat force' to protect the Pakistani cricketer-turned-politician from shoe throwers, warning that anyone attempting to harm their leader would be thrashed with cricket bats. A shoe was hurled at 65-year-old Khan, the chief of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) that missed its target and instead landed on party leader Aleem Khan's chest, during a public rally in Gujrat city in Punjab province on March 13.
