Imran Khan attack: Internet filled with memes as '#PakCivilWar' trends on Twitter

The political situation in Pakistan has taken a turn for the worse with the attack on former Prime Minister Imran Khan. The Tehreek-e-Insaf chief was heading a rally on Thursday when an assailant attempted to shoot him. While Imran Khan survived with a bullet injury in his leg, his party has accused “Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the country’s Interior Minister and a top ISI General” of the attack, without furnishing any proof. PTI supporters have announced nation-wide protests on Friday till Imran Khan’s demands of snap elections and the resignation of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif are met. As the precarious situation in the neighbouring country has the potential to turn into what many are terming ‘civil war’, the public on Twitter did not shy away from seeing the lighter side of things.

Some joked that the ongoing developments should be termed as “Gangs of Pakistan.
