A petition has been filed at Oxford University opposing the nomination of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan as the university’s chancellor.
The petition, submitted to the university administration, expressed concerns about Khan’s public and personal history. It accused him of supporting extremist groups, including the Taliban and former Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, whom Khan once referred to as a “martyr.”
Additionally, the petition criticized Khan’s views on women’s rights, citing his past comments where he linked rape incidents to women’s clothing.
The petition argued that Khan’s values and conduct are incompatible with those upheld by Oxford University.
It is worth noting that the imprisoned former prime minister, Imran Khan, has declared his intention to run for the position of Chancellor at Oxford University.
