Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz is under fire after falsely claiming that Imperial College London would open a campus in Lahore. The UK-based university swiftly issued a statement on its website denying any such plans, saying, “Reports that Imperial College London plans to open a campus overseas are incorrect.” The Punjab government and PML-N’s official social media accounts had earlier announced the supposed project, even mentioning a 300-bed hospital at the Nawaz Sharif IT City.
Following the public embarrassment, Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb deleted her X post endorsing the claim. The backlash was swift — social media users mocked Maryam Nawaz, with many calling her “the Queen of Fabrication.” Former NAVTTC chairman and Imperial alumnus Javed Hassan sarcastically noted that “verification remains a novel concept” in Pakistan.
The episode has become a full-blown social media storm, with critics accusing the military establishment of backing false propaganda and propping up Maryam’s leadership. The Nawaz Sharif IT City, promoted as a futuristic tax-free tech hub, now faces ridicule instead. Imperial’s outright denial has not only embarrassed the Punjab government but also raised questions about accountability, credibility, and Pakistan’s obsession with foreign validation.
