The premier further said the varsity was named after Abdul Qadir Jilani, who linked science and spirituality. “Research on spirituality will be conducted here,” he added.

Here’s what Twitterati had to say about PM Imran’s statement:

Meanwhile, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz also took a jibe at PM Imran.

“There is craft in daubing. He who used to criticise [others] for reading off a paper was neither able to read out his own oath nor deliver a speech,” she tweeted.

Maryam further said that he [PM Imran] reading off a paper was a spectacle, and so was he delivering an unprepared speech.
