And some of them have different views and saying that ‘the Economist have won the hearts of those who fights for freedom of expression and true democracy.’

After Pakistan’s caretaker Information Minister statement, The economist shared article of Imran Khan three times.

Pakistani Journalist Maria Memon gave a statement on on The economist tweet ‘Economist is now actively trolling the Pakistani Government.’

Imran Khan was ousted from power in a no-confidence vote in April 2022 and has since faced a slew of legal cases which he says are meant to keep him away from the country’s political landscape ahead of the next general elections.

About an article purportedly written by Mr. Imran Khan. It is puzzling and disconcerting that such an esteemed media outlet published an article in the name of an individual who is in jail and has been convicted.’

‘We believe it is critically essential to uphold ethical standards and promote responsible journalism. We would like to know how the editorial decision was made, and what considerations were taken into account regarding the legitimacy and credibility of the content by the Economist.’

The article in question, published by The Economist on Thursday, described Pakistan’s upcoming elections as “a farce” while adding that Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party had been unfairly targeted and muzzled.

‘Since a “farcical” vote of no confidence in 2022, Imran Khan argues in a guest essay that Pakistan’s establishment “is not prepared to provide any playing field at all, let alone a level one” for his party’ The Economist tweeted on Sunday, 7^th January
