Imran Khan, a leading Pakistani cricketer and politician, spoke at the Union this Tuesday.
Khan, who attended Keble College to study PPE, spoke about his opposition to the heavy handed tactics in the war in Afganistan. “How do you fight terror with bombs?” he asked the audience, comprised of the Pakistani Society and Union members. Khan expressed his worries that Obama’s tactics will prove no more effective than Bush’s if he failed to realise that physical force will never achieve the goal of eliminating terrorism.
Whilst leaving the Union, the car waiting for Khan was forced to do a quick lap of the town to avoid a local parking attendant who was attempting to give it a parking ticket. When asked if he had fined the waiting car, the officer said, “I would have if she hadn’t moved on.”
