He is the founder and former chairman of the political party [[Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf]] (PTI) from 1996 to 2023. He was the [[Captain (cricket)|captain]] of the [[Pakistan national cricket team]] throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. Born in [[Lahore]], Khan graduated from [[Keble College, Oxford]]. He began his [[international cricket]] career in a [[Pakistani cricket team in England in 1971|1971 Test series]] against [[England cricket team|England]]. Khan played until 1992, served as the team's captain intermittently between 1982 and 1992, and won the [[1992 Cricket World Cup]], Pakistan's only victory in the competition. Considered one of cricket's greatest [[all-rounder]]s, Khan was later inducted into the [[ICC Cricket Hall of Fame]]. Founding the [[Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf]] (PTI) in 1996, Khan won a seat in the [[National Assembly of Pakistan|National Assembly]] in the [[2002 Pakistani general election|2002 general election]], serving as an opposition member from [[Mianwali]] until 2007. PTI boycotted the [[2008 Pakistani general election|2008 general election]] and became the second-largest party by popular vote in the [[2013 Pakistani general election|2013 general election]]. In the [[2018 Pakistani general election|2018 general election]], running on a [[populist]] platform, PTI became the largest party in the National Assembly, and formed a coalition government with independents with Khan as prime minister. As prime minister, Khan addressed a [[balance of payments]] crisis with bailouts from the [[IMF]]. He presided over a shrinking current account deficit, and limited defence spending to curtail the fiscal deficit, leading to some general economic growth. He enacted policies that increased tax collection and investment as well as advocated for transforming Pakistan into a [[welfare state]]. His government committed to a [[renewable energy]] transition, launched [[Ehsaas Programme]] and the [[Plant for Pakistan]] initiative, and expanded the [[protected areas of Pakistan]]. He presided over the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan|COVID-19 pandemic]], which caused economic turmoil and rising inflation in the country, threatening his political position. In early 2022, in what became known as [[Lettergate]], Khan alleged that the United States encouraged his removal from office. In April, during the ensuing [[2022 Pakistani constitutional crisis|constitutional crisis]], Khan became the first Pakistani prime minister to be removed from office through [[No-confidence motion against Imran Khan|a no-confidence motion]]. In August, he was charged under anti-terror laws after accusing the police and judiciary of detaining and torturing an aide. In October, Khan was disqualified by the [[Election Commission of Pakistan]] from taking office for the current term of the [[National Assembly of Pakistan]], regarding the [[Toshakhana reference case]]. In November, he survived [[attempted assassination of Imran Khan|an assassination attempt]] during a political rally in [[Wazirabad]], Punjab. On 9 May 2023, Khan [[Arrest of Imran Khan|was arrested]] on [[Al-Qadir Trust case|corruption charges]] at the [[Islamabad High Court]] by paramilitary troops who smashed their way into the courthouse.

Khan defended his actions in the same interview, arguing his conduct was commonplace at the time, even that spin bowlers would lift the seam (i.e. mildly ball tamper); further Khan argued that as he did not lift the seam of the ball above the normal level he was not violating the rules and spirit of the game within the rules defined while he was a player.

Pakistan fell from 117th in 2018 to 140th in 2021. Amber Shamsi said that dozens of opposition figures had been accused of corruption and jailed without being prosecuted. In response to the CPI report, Information Minister [[Fawad Chaudhry]] said Pakistan "need[s] reforms in the areas of the rule of law and state capture as mentioned in the report". Critics have questioned the effectiveness and impartiality of Khan's anti-corruption policies. [[Michael Kugelman]], from the [[Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars]], said "Khan may have a genuine commitment to combat corruption, but the sheer scale of the problem — not to mention the power of vested interests that don't want a change in the status quo — underscores that this continues to be an uphill battle. Anti-corruption is one of those goals that is so much easier to envision when in the opposition than inside the system. Khan has learned that the hard way".<ref name="dw" /> In June 2019, Khan removed General [[Asim Munir]] from his position as Director-General of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and replaced him with General [[Faiz Hameed]]. ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'' alleged that Munir's removal followed Munir telling Khan that he wanted to investigate corruption allegations against Khan's wife, [[Bushra Bibi]], and her inner circle. Farzana Shaikh, from think-tank [[Chatham House]], said that Munir may have faced difficulties when he raised the corruption allegations with Khan. Khan said Munir did not show him any proof of Bibi's corruption and Khan did not ask Munir to resign because of his request to investigate.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://thefridaytimes.com/22-May-2023/imran-khan-removed-asim-munir-as-isi-chief-for-uncovering-bushra-bibi-s-corruption-british-paper-claims|title=Imran Khan Removed Asim Munir As ISI Chief For Uncovering Bushra Bibi's Corruption, British Paper Claims|publisher=[[The Friday Times]]|date=22 May 2023|access-date=1 November 2024}}</ref> In 2020, [[Shibli Faraz]], the information minister in Khan's government, announced that Pakistan had initiated legal proceedings to extradite [[Nawaz Sharif]], who had been convicted of corruption in the [[Panama Papers case]].

Women's rights groups, including the [[Human Rights Commission of Pakistan]], demanded an apology, arguing that his remarks perpetuate harmful stereotypes by portraying men as "helpless aggressors" and women as "knowing" victims. Critics, such as politician [[Maryam Nawaz]], labelled Khan a "rape apologist," while activist [[Kanwal Ahmed]] expressed concerns about the message his words sent to perpetrators.<ref name="victim_blaming"/> Then Special Assistant to the Prime Minister, [[Raoof Hasan]], argued that Khan's comments on rape were taken out of context. Raoof stated that Khan's government had taken "groundbreaking" measures to increase women's rights and that Khan was attempting to stir a discussion through his statements.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Hasan |first=Raoof |date=2021-06-30 |title=Imran Khan's comments about rape and purdah were taken out of context |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jun/30/imran-khan-comments-about-and-purdah-were-taken-out-of-context|access-date=2024-11-07 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}</ref> [[Zartaj Gul]], a minister in Khan's cabinet at the time, referred to Khan as a "symbol of women empowerment" and argued that his statements had been taken out of context.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |date=2021-06-22 |title=PTI MNAs defend PM Imran's heavily criticised comments on rape |url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1630852 |access-date=2024-11-07 |website=DAWN.COM |language=en}}</ref> Khan later clarified his comments in an interview with [[Judy Woodruff]] on [[PBS News Hour]], stating, “Anyone who commits rape, solely and solely, that person is responsible, no matter whatever – how much ever a woman is provocative or whatever she wears, the person who commits rape, he is fully responsible. Never is the victim responsible.” Regarding his previous remarks on the issue, Khan said his comments were “completely taken out of context.” He emphasized that he would never say such “a stupid thing” implying that a person who was raped is responsible for the crime. “It’s always the rapist that is responsible.”<ref>{{cite youtube|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4c7MMTU7Qg|title=Pakistan's Imran Khan clarifies comments on the nation's rape crisis|date=27 July 2021|publisher=[[PBS NewsHour]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/7/28/us-really-messed-up-in-afghanistan-pakistan-pm-khan|title=Pakistan PM Imran Khan says never blamed rape victims|date=28 July 2021|publisher=[[Al Jazeera]]}}</ref> ===Misogynistic remarks=== In 2022, during his speech, Imran Khan referenced a clip of [[Maryam Nawaz]]'s speech, in which she mentioned his name multiple times. Khan remarked: "Someone sent me a clip on social media of Maryam's speech, somewhere. She took my name so many times and with so much passion, I want to tell her that Maryam, please be careful, your husband might get upset the way you call my name again and again."
