ISLAMABAD:
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has asked the PTI to submit its reply to a report of its scrutiny committee which was formed to probe into the allegations of a disgruntled PTI leader Akbar S Babar that the ruling party received illegal funding from foreign sources.
A two-member bench of the ECP on Wednesday conducted a hearing on an application filed by State Minister for Information Farrukh Habib for giving the PTI auditors access to the foreign funding-related documents submitted by the PML-N and the PPP.

ISLAMABAD: Petitioner in the foreign funding case Akbar S. Babar has claimed that a fact-finding report has revealed that the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) received illegal funding to the tune of Rs2.20 billion during the period between 2009 and 2013.
Unveiling the report at a media briefing here on Tuesday, Mr Babar, a founding member of the PTI, said it was just a tip of the iceberg as complete details of the accounts opened in the name of four PTI employees as well as the party’s accounts in and outside the country had not been shared. He said the prohibited funding received by the party would be manifold high if a thorough probe was carried out.
