Underground Imran Khan


Imran Khan appreciates the recent reaction from LUMS students ...

Imran Khan is currently hiding from police and in this interview (language is Urdu not English) he talks about various issues concerning the current political situation. Imran mentions LUMS in the interview and talks about how the reaction from the student body of an institution like LUMS symbolizes the forthcoming winds of change.

At one point in the interview he talks about how certain media policies were proving to be uncomfortable for the local population. These comments might seem odd coming from Imran Khan who is largely viewed as a liberal democrat and in fact there has been some criticism of these comments. What the viewers need to keep in mind is that he was not advocating media censorship, rather he was just advocating the responsibility of media to be sensitive to local cultures and to avoid offending them in any way.
