Jailed Pakistan ex-PM Imran Khan applies to be Oxford chancellor


Jailed former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has applied to become the next chancellor of Britain’s prestigious University of Oxford, his party says.

“Despite being unlawfully incarcerated for over a year, Khan remains committed to his principles and the causes he champions,” the PTI post said on Sunday.

Speaking to the AFP news agency, Bukhari said: “Imran Khan had given instructions that he would like to submit his application and now the application scrutiny will take place.”

“It’s a ceremonial post but one with utmost prestige and importance, and Imran Khan, being one of the larger or more popular names coming out of Oxford, it would be brilliant to see him as chancellor,” he said.

“If he does become the chancellor, he would be the first of Asian descent. It wouldn’t be something only for Pakistan, but it would be a great achievement for all of Asia and the rest of the world,” Bukhari added.

Given Pakistan's geographical position and the military's significant role in the private sector, it would be foolish not to foster such a relationship," Imran Khan wrote in replies relayed by his media and legal team.

Fearing for their security, they sought additional protection for their homes.   One of the judg...
