Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former prime minister Imran Khan stated on Monday that if he were to be elected Chancellor of Oxford University, it would be an honour for Pakistan.
Speaking to media persons from Adiala Jail, where he is currently incarcerated on multiple charges, Khan expressed that even if he does not win the chancellorship, it would not diminish his accomplishments.
"No one in the history of cricket in Pakistan has reached the level I have. I have undertaken the most charitable work in Pakistan, including the construction of two hospitals, and two universities, with a third university still under construction," he remarked.
Khan also took the opportunity to criticise the PML-N leadership, particularly former prime minister Nawaz Sharif. He accused Sharif and his party members of disparaging the military and advocating for the supremacy of the vote, while selectively ignoring other criticisms of the military establishment.
"Nawaz Sharif has spent two and a half years criticising the army and martial law under the guise of 'respecting the vote.' Khawaja Asif has also spoken ill of the army, but no one questioned him," Khan said.
He further alleged that other political leaders, such as Ahsan Iqbal, have also took a jibe at the military, referring to the Hamudur Rehman Commission report and predicting that Pakistan was on the verge of becoming Myanmar.
"Whenever there is talk of negotiations, they bring up May 9. May 9 is their insurance policy—once that is over, both their government and their politics will collapse," Khan asserted.
Khan called for the formation of a judicial commission to investigate the events of May 9, suggesting that those responsible for his abduction and the disappearance of CCTV footage were involved in orchestrating a conspiracy on that day.
He also reiterated allegations of electoral fraud in favour of Nawaz Sharif, claiming that 74,000 votes were cast to secure Sharif's victory over PTI candidate Dr. Yasmin Rashid
