Supreme Court takes strict stance on PTI foreign funding case

ISLAMABAD  – The Supreme Court of Pakistan held the proceedings of the Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf foreign funding case today.

The Supreme Court has on Wednesday hinted that it might ask the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to investigate the foreign funding case associated with PTI.

As per details, the Supreme Court pursued the hearing of foreign funding case as PTI submitted documents related to party s foreign funding.

The Supreme Court remarked that it would be more appropriate if election commission should first announce its verdict on foreign funding.

The court also demanded reply from PTI in the matter of investigating the foreign funding case from ECP

During the hearing, the Chief Justice remarked that the petitioner has submitted documents which reveal that PTI has also been funded by the foreigners however no part of the funding should be from any illegitimate sources as per law.

PTI counsel Anwar Mansoor argued that if ECP has accepted the details for once then the funding matter cannot be re-opened once more.
