ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has filed a petition with the Election Commission of Pakistan seeking details of the bank accounts of Pakistan Peoples Party and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz in connection with the foreign funding case against it.
The request was made by Minister of State for Information and Broadcast Farrukh Habib.
Recalling how Akbar S Babar was permitted to review the documents submitted by PTI in the case, Habib sought permission to review bank accounts of the PPP and the PML-N.
“[We] want to review the record on Akbar Babar pattern,” the minister said in his request.
Last November, the ECP had launched an investigation against the PPP and the PML-N over claims of foreign funding.
Earlier, PTI had submitted a new application to the ECP to seek expediting scrutiny process against PML-N and PPP in the case.
Habib submitted an application to ECP for conducting daily hearings of foreign funding case against the PML-N and PPP.
The case has been dragging on for more than six years without reaching a final judgement. It pertains to allegations that the PTI has taken funds from dubious, prohibited and illegal sources which, if proven, can lead to severe consequences for the ruling party.
