Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan said if he were to be elected Chancellor of Oxford University, it would be an honour for Pakistan.
Speaking from Adiala Jail, Khan noted that his contributions would remain impactful regardless of the outcome.
“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.

Recently, Imran Khan faced backlash over his nomination for the position of Oxford University Chancellor.
In a letter published in the Observer section of The Guardian, critics have described Khan as a supporter of the Taliban and labelled his candidacy as an insult to women.
In August, Imran formally applied to run for chancellor of the University of Oxford in Britain from his prison cell.
Voting will be held online from October 28 and only Oxford graduates and members of the university’s congregation, including academic staff, are able to vote.
