Imran Khan Is The Original Author Of “The Economist Article” Not AI: PTI

Recently, an official statement on X surfaced online. In the statement, the former ruling party answered the local media reports questioning the actual mode of publication of the imprisoned PTI founder’s column in a foreign publication. It states:

“It is clarified that the news/reports carried by local media on the contents and mode of publication of an article by the PTI Chairman-for-life in a foreign publication The Economist does not reflect the actual state of facts regarding the matter. The said piece has been authored by the PTI Chairman-for-life, Imran Khan, vindictively incarcerated at Central Jail, Rawalpindi. In no way, has this been compiled through the use of artificial means including artificial intelligence.”

The PTI also urged the local media to put forward the facts and carry this clarification in its true letter and spirit by publishing it at the same prominent place in their upcoming editions.
