MIANWALI: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has warned land owners to sell four acre land to the Namal University otherwise “we will acquire it under section 4 of Land Acquisition Act.”

Addressing the 3rd convocation of Namal University here on Sunday, he said: “The completion of Knowledge City of Namal University is my passion and politics is my mission.

“Four acres are lying in front of the university building but owners are reluctant to sell the land.”

He distributed degrees among 68 students. He urged the students to utilise their abilities for the country.

It was learnt that Imran Khan deputed PTI MNA Amjad Khan to convince the people to sell the land to the university but owners were demanding ‘high’ price.

Talking to Dawn, Sillo clan elder Malik Ghous Sillo said his ‘biradri’ had already donated land to Imran Khan for establishing Namal University “but now due to his attitude we refuse to sell land at throwaway price. We had demanded land in exchange for land to construct houses instead of selling it.”
