Former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, has been pursuing the position of Vice Chancellor at Oxford University, even while he remains in prison. In a notable development, his bid has gained unexpected endorsement from British Parliamentarians. Among those endorsing Khan are Lord Daniel Hannan from the Conservative Party, as well as independent MPs Shokat Adam and Adnan Hussain.
The endorsement from British Parliamentarians highlights a significant level of support for Khan’s candidacy, despite his current incarceration. This endorsement from British Parliamentarians underscores the respect and recognition Khan commands internationally.
It is pertinent to mention here that elections for the candidates will take place in October. However, Khan will be electing for this prestigious position from the jail where he is imprisoned at the moment and is serving the 10-year sentence. Lord Daniel Hannan is also a member of the European Parliament and he endorsed Khan by saying, “He would make a superb chancellor for the world’s foremost university.”
Hannan further stated, “It says something about the state of democracy in Pakistan that he might be more able to fight an election in Britain, the country where he was educated and where he grew into the all-rounder he is, than in Pakistan.” Moreover, he described Khan’s personality as “a towering figure in the worlds of philanthropy, sport and politics”. Thus, the recent endorsement from British Parliamentarians underscores the growing support for Imran Khan’s nomination as Oxford Chancellor.
On the other hand, Shokat Adam, who is the independent member of Parliament for Leicester South, said about Khan, “It would send a powerful message of hope and exemplify the notion that walls merely imprison one’s body but not one’s beliefs.” Similarly, Adnan Hussain, who is an independent MP for Blackburn stated, “Imran Khan’s hard work and dedication to everything he does in life is an inspiration for the youth desperately in need of role models, especially Pakistani youth, both here and in Pakistan.”
He further asserted, “By giving him the role, I believe Oxford University will be recognizing and exemplifying all his accomplishments. As someone with Pakistani heritage myself, for a British institution, the most prestigious in the world, to choose Imran Khan for the role would be a badge of honor and pride for us all.”
Hence, the endorsement from British Parliamentarians of Imran Khan highlights international backing for his quest to become Oxford University Chancellor.
