Petition Criticizes Imran Khan’s Extremist Ties and Views on Women Ahead of Oxford Chancellor Bid
As per details, the petition, submitted to the university administration, expressed concern over Khan’s public and personal record.
The petition alleged that Khan has a history of supporting extremist groups, including the Taliban and the then Al Qaeda head Osama bin Laden. It also mentioned that Khan had previously referred to bin Laden as a “martyr”.
Additionally, the petition criticized Khan’s views on women’s rights, stating that he has blamed women’s clothing for rape incidents.
The petition argued that the PTI founder’s values and personal conduct conflict with the values and laws of Oxford University.
It is worth mentioning here that the incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan decided to enter the race to be elected the new Chancellor of the University of Oxford.
Imran Khan studied philosophy, politics, and economics (PPE) at the world-famous university’s Keble College from 1972 to 1975 and also captained the university cricket team.
He stated that “Oxford University helped me a lot in my formative years. As Chancellor, I would passionately advocate for Oxford, championing its values of diversity, equality, and inclusion, both in the UK and abroad.”
“I am committed to giving back to the world the resilience, determination, and integrity that life has taught me, even when the odds are stacked against me,” he said.
