ISLAMABAD: Leaders of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) on Tuesday filed two petitions in the Supreme Court, alleging that the ruling PML-N and the PPP are foreign funded parties.
The petitions, filed by PTI leaders Asad Umar and Shireen Mazari, requested the SC to order the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to investigate parties' funds and withdraw the election symbols allotted to them.
PML-N and PPP have received funds from foreign and forbidden sources, the petitions alleged.
It further claimed that funds contributed to the party by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif were not mentioned in the details submitted by the PML-N to the ECP. According to the petition, Nawaz had contributed Rs100 million to the party in funds. Later, he retrieved Rs40 million.
