But, his party now says that their former chief wrote the essay.A recent article in a British publication attributed to Imran Khan was not a work of artificial intelligence but was authored by the jailed former Pakistan prime minister himself, his party said on Tuesday.
The write-up, published in The Economist on Thursday with the title ‘Imran Khan warns that Pakistan elections could be a farce’, raised serious doubts over whether the scheduled February 8 polls in Pakistan will be held as announced.Khan, the founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party is incarcerated at the high-security Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, convicted in the Toshakhana corruption case and being tried under multiple other cases.
In the write-up, which drew sharp objections from the caretaker government, the 71-year-old former prime minister reiterated his “engineered” removal from power in 2022 by the establishment “under pressure from America” and the lack of “level playing field” in the electionsThe write-up has already been denied by both the Pakistani government and the US Department of State.
Several observers had doubts over whether the PTI founder had personally penned the piece, according to the Dawn newspaper. It was also reported that the former-cricketer-turned-politician said he did not write the essay himself, rather it was based on points he had dictated, which were put into words through artificial intelligence.
