Speaking at an event at Namal University in Mianwali, Imran said, “There will be no political interference in Namal University, which is why it will be a success.”
The PTI chief serves as chairman of the board of governors of the Namal Education Foundation, which is the sponsoring body of Namal College.
Stressing the importance of making the university at par with the standards of Oxford University, the PTI chairman said, “To become a prime minister is not a big thing but if this university becomes Oxford University and the center of learning, then that is big.”
Addressing the gathering, Imran explaining secrets for success said, “If you are doing something difficult, then you have to prepare for hardships and to overcome obstacles.”
“Whenever you aim for something then there is no turning back,” an apparent refutation of claims that he takes U-turns.

For God sake let the university remain Namal, do not try to make it Oxford. In you we have seen a student of Oxford and shame on Oxford University to have produced a student like you, we do not need any more student like you
Namal is still a small college with limited course offering. First make it a university then think about making it the Oxford.
Greatly Exxaggarated!!!'
Imran, willl you also provide the clubbing/partying scene same as that of Oxford? I'm all up for it if you do.
@Ch. Allah Daad: so should be your folks for giving us you.
@Ch Allah daad : How much do they pay you mate? I'm just curious Anyways, oxford is truly such a stupid place. Ugh, why is it even internationally acclaimed? Only a simpleton like IK can graduate from there. Real intellectuals graduate from Government College University, Lahore, like Nawaz Sharif! All hail Nawaz Sharif . (I'm sarcastic if you couldnt detect it)
This is called vision. Building metros and motorways is not vision. Good going IK! We're all with you.
@Baba: In all honesty Baba jee the claim is ridiculous. However if Imran did want to emulate some one why not Harvard? Or Cambridge? This is the same as when he decided his date to destroy Pakistan with Plan C (or was it D?) would be the same day as the fall of Dhaka. Then they had to change the date of their doomsday. I am by the way and former Imran supporter. Now I am part of the forward block (we find him incompetent)
Oxford should ashamed of itself on producing such a crap.
@Ranjha: Your vile nature is pretty obvious from this “well-wishing” comment. Imran, please give scholarships to indians but first they will have to sign a form begging for forgiveness for their black hearts and hatred towards Pakistanis. But, can you pass GRE? . Pakistani Students are given Scholarships at Indian Educational Institutions. Thus if Namal University becomes Pakistan’s Oxford University what is wrong if Namal University also gives Scholarships to Indian Students? Cheers
@PTI Workers United: PTI workers like you? Who needs en.. ,trolls?
Lets see. Bilawal and Benazir went to Oxford. Why would we want to emulate that place? (oh maybe because IK went there too. That place really does educate all the bad apples)
A university is not a building. To make a great university, you need a great culture of education in the society at large.
@Naresh - im partly indian too and your comment is highly regrettable - pls apoligise
@Ranjha - we want to have better relationships with Pakistan people , we do not hate the people
But the PTI president in KPK and Minister Higher Education has successfully destroyed Hazara University, Mansehra; which is a clear proof how much the PTI guys do not interfere in the matters of Universities. PTI and Mr. Ik is big joke in the name of Merit and Independence of Institutions....................

Imran Khan : Best wishes to your Efforts to make Namal University Pakistan's Oxford University. I Hope you will give Scholarships to Indians so that they can get a proper Education and compete with Scholars from the World's Best Universities. Best of Luck Cheers
