The first thick English book I read in my life was called ‘The Great Escape’. It contained stories of prisoners who managed to escape from the most secure prisons in the world.
Someone escaped by disguising himself as a prison guard, someone hid himself in a washerman’s van, an ingenious prisoner made a hang-glider out of a bed sheet and flew over the prison wall.
But in most stories the prisoners dug a tunnel quietly for years, often getting caught but a lucky few finding their freedom. Those who were caught would start preparing to dig another tunnel as soon as they returned to the prison. The lesson of the stories was that if the prisoner’s passion is true, no prison in the world can stop him from escaping.
The most famous prisoner of Pakistan is Imran Khan and at one time Mach Jail was considered as the toughest prison in Pakistan, but today it is Adiala, where the jailers are made to disappear after talking to the prisoner and the spirit of the prisoner. It is like you may disagree with his politics but even his political opponents are fed up with his passion.
Just as Imran Khan has introduced new styles in the politics of Pakistan, in the same way he has thought of a unique plan to escape from the Adiala Jail that he will contest the election of Chancellor of Oxford University.
The truth is that before Imran Khan’s election, neither Pakistanis nor most of the British knew that there was even an election for the chancellor of Oxford.
With his announcement, everyone knew about the Chancellor’s election like a child now knows about Election Form 45 and Election Form 47.
Imran Khan has breathed life into an ancient institution of whites by announcing that they will join the forgotten elections.
The plan is not that Imran Khan will start digging tunnels from Adiala Jail and one day appear in the Chancellor’s office at Oxford. He will remain in jail and, as his son Nisar believes, will become stronger and stronger, more popular and more popular while in jail, but contesting the chancellor’s election will once again make his name reverberate in Western capitals.

He will be remembered as a legendary cricketer, his fans will be able to relive London parties, meet the royal family and share pictures with ex-wife Jemima Khan.
His cancer hospital will be mentioned, it will also be remembered that he is also the former Prime Minister of Pakistan and now ridiculous cases are being tried against him.
Except for Imran Khan, the name of any other candidate for the election of chancellor may not be known by people outside of Oxford, but an election is an election, anonymous candidates will also put their efforts.
A British journalist has opened the front of election campaign against Imran Khan in a column. The accusations are the same old ones, refusal to sit on a stage with Salman Rushdie, soft spot for Taliban and Osama and outdated views about women. I don’t know how many votes they will lose in the Oxford election due to these things, but they will definitely increase in Pakistan.
If they win this election, the Whites will accept Prisoner No. 804 as their leader and if they lose, the whites will have eternal Islamophobia.
Whatever the outcome of the election, the world will remember that Imran Khan is a political prisoner and probably the most beautiful political prisoner in the world. A political prisoner endures the rigors of prison but not anonymity. So Imran Khan will once again be in the headlines of the western media.
Any politician who wants to escape from a prison in Pakistan, has a tunnel through GHQ. Imran Khan is determined to make his own way.
Perhaps they have seen the fate of escaped prisoners before. Among the politicians, Nawaz Sharif has the most experience of escaping from jail. He had escaped from Attock Fort, Kot Lakhpat too, but after escaping so many times he would now consider himself a prisoner even among his home nobles. If you escape now, where will you go?
On the other hand, Imran Khan is digging his tunnel and no jailer can stop him.
