ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in a unanimous verdict Tuesday ruled that the PTI received funds from prohibited sources.

In its verdict, the ECP said that the party, in violation of the Constitution, had received funds from 34 foreigners. The party received funds from US, Australia and UAE.

The party accepted funds from a US business personality, it added.

The ECP said that the PTI had submitted a false affidavit about the party’s accounts. PTI Chairman Imran Khan had submitted a false F1 form to the ECP, it added.

A three-member bench, comprising Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja and ECP members Nisar Ahmed Durrani and Shah Muhammad Jatoi announced the verdict.

The demand for an announcement of the verdict in this important case increased following an explosive story by the Financial Times, revealing the sources of funding of the PTI.

The electoral body had reserved the judgment on June 21 this year after a record period of eight years, making it a unique case in the country’s history. The petition was filed by Akbar S. Babar — one of the PTI’s founding members and former information secretary — in November 2014.

‘Sky will not fall’
Ahead of the ECP verdict, PTI leader Fawad Chauhdry said that both the Supreme Court and the high court decided that the Election Commission should decide the cases of the three parties together, but the ECP is not bothered to look into the funding issues of the PML-N and PPP.

The sky will not fall today, political decisions are to be taken by the people, not Election Commission.

“The decisive verdict will be of the nation.”

The case was marred by several reasons, including the PTI challenging the Election Commission’s jurisdiction, a change of its lawyers nine times and other delaying tactics.

Babar had alleged that around $3 million in illegal foreign funds was raised through two offshore companies and the money was illegally sent to the accounts of PTI employees from the Middle East through ‘Hundi’.

He had also alleged that the funds which used to be funnelled from abroad were kept hidden in the annual audit report submitted to the Election Commission.

The cause list — issued by the Election Commission — includes the scheduled announcement of the case, triggering a debate in political circles and the general public on the political future of the PTI and its Chairman Imran Khan.

The case history
At one stage, the Election Commission had written to the State Bank to get details of the accounts after the PTI refused to cooperate.

The ECP had established a three-member Scrutiny Committee in March 2018 to look into the issue of foreign funding.

On October 01 last year, the ECP reserved its verdict on four petitions filed by the PTI for secrecy in examining the case. On October 10, 2019, the Election Commission rejected the objections made by the then ruling party to the audit of its accounts through the Scrutiny Committee, but the PTI challenged the decision in the Islamabad High Court and it was decided to hear the foreign funding case on a daily basis in November 2019.

The commission had rejected the ‘incomplete’ report of its Scrutiny Committee on the 2020 foreign funding case and stated in the order that the report was not complete and comprehensive.

Later, in November 2021, the Scrutiny Committee submitted an audit report of the PTI funds. The committee, constituted in March 2019, had also submitted its report six months after the deadline ended.

The committee report confirmed that the PTI received funds from foreign nationals and companies, showed less funds and several of bank accounts. The report also cited the controversy over allowing four PTI employees to receive donations in their personal accounts but said scrutinizing their accounts was beyond the committee’s purview.

It may be recalled that the Scrutiny Committee was constituted in March 2018 to thoroughly check the accounts of PTI but it took nearly four years to submit its report to the ECP which was submitted in December 2021. The committee had also expressed its helplessness in getting certain related details from the PTI.

However, some documents were kept confidential in this report and were not brought to light after which on January 19, 2022, the Election Commission ordered that all confidential documents be made public.

On April 14, the Islamabad High Court ordered the Election Commission to decide the case within a month, which was challenged by the PTI and the court order was suspended.

The ECP judgment is being awaited by many with bated breath and speculations are rife that the verdict will give a new turn to the ongoing political crisis.

What will happen if prohibited funding proves against PTI?

In case the verdict comes against PTI and the commission says the party received prohibited funding, then the body will send a reference to the federal government, says Dilshad

ISLAMABAD: All the lawmakers of PTI will be disqualified and its offices will be sealed if prohibited funding is proved against the party, said Former ECP secretary Kanwar Dilshad.

Talking to Geo News ahead of the Election Commission's verdict in the prohibited funding case, Kanwar Dilshad said that in case the verdict comes against PTI and the commission says the party received prohibited funding, then the body will send a reference to the federal government.

Dilshad said that once the government receives the reference, it will then move the Supreme Court and file a reference against the party under Article 17.

The apex court will then hold a hearing with a full bench, he said.

Before the government sends a reference, Dilshad said, the PTI can also challenge the Election Commission's order in the apex court.

In case the SC bans the party, then all the accounts will be frozen, the offices will be sealed, and all the members of parliament will lose their status as lawmakers.

"A pandora's box will open as Akbar S Babar has such evidence," he added.

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has decided to hear on daily basis a case filed against the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for allegedly getting funds from foreign sources and there is an ongoing debate over repercussions of the ECP’s decision on the PTI and its chairman, Prime Minister Imran Khan.

However, the Supreme Court has already discussed in detail the question of foreign funding in its 2017 judgment on a petition filed by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hanif Abbasi, who had sought disqualification of Imran Khan.

The SC bench led by former chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar while making a distinction between a ‘foreign aided’ party and ‘prohibited funding’ referred the case on December 16, 2017 to the ECP for a probe.

The judgment had noted that it is the duty of the ECP to scrutinise accounts of political parties on the touchstone of Article 6(3) of the PPO read in the light of Article 17(3) of the Constitution.

The PML-N counsel Akram Sheikh had submitted that the PTI is a ‘foreign-aided’ political party in terms of Article 2(c) (iii) of the Political Parties Ordinance (PPO) 2002 as it received contributions prohibited under Article 6(3) thereof read with Article 17(3) of the Constitution.

He had argued that despite the above-stated position, Imran Khan personally issued certificates to the ECP in terms of Article 13(2) of the PPO to the effect that PTI does not receive funds from prohibited sources, meaning thereby that it is not a foreign-aided political party.

“These certificates make a mis-declaration of fact and thus the Respondent (Imran Khan) has proven himself to be not sagacious, righteous, honest or ameen.

“He is, therefore, liable to be disqualified from holding elective office or being elected thereto under Articles 62(1) (f) and (g), and 63(1)(p) of the Constitution,” he had said.

However, the apex court in its judgment had noted that it is not the case that the PTI was formed or organised at the instance of any government or political party of a foreign country or is affiliated to or associated with any government or political party of a foreign country, or receives any aid, financial or otherwise, from any government or political party of a foreign country.

Rather, the allegation is that PTI has been receiving financial contribution and/or a portion of its funds from foreign nationals as not only the directors of the PTI USA LLC are American citizens, but contributions have been collected from individuals and the companies that are admittedly foreign nationals.

What if a party is foreign-aided?

The judgment had noted that under 1962 Act, ‘foreign aided’ political party means a party which has been formed or organised at the instance of any government or political party of a foreign country; or is affiliated to or associated with any government or political party of a foreign country; or receives any aid, financial or otherwise, from any government or political party of a foreign.

It stated that where the federal government is satisfied that a political party is a foreign-aided party or has been formed or is operating in a manner prejudicial to the sovereignty or integrity of Pakistan or is indulging in terrorism, it shall make such declaration by a notification in the official Gazette.

“Within fifteen days of making a declaration under clause (1), the federal government shall refer the matter to the SC whose decision on such reference shall be final. Where the Supreme Court upholds the declaration made against a political party under clause (1), such party shall stand dissolved forthwith.”

In case of prohibited funding

The court had declared that any contribution or donation which is prohibited under the PPO shall be confiscated in favour of the state in the manner as may be prescribed.

It had also referred to the relevant law, which says where the ECP decides that the contributions or donations, as the case may be, accepted by the political parties are prohibited under clause (3) of Article 6, it shall, subject to notice to the party and after giving an opportunity of being heard, direct the same to be confiscated in favour of the state to be deposited in government treasury or sub-treasury.

Future of PTI chief

The judgment had said alleged falsity of the certificates issued by Imran under Article 13(2) of the PPO is secondary fact, ascertainable by a competent court of law after the ECP gives its findings whether any prohibited funding has been received and collected by the PTI in terms of Article 6(3) of the PPO.

Now the ECP is hearing the matter to determine whether the PTI got funded through prohibited sources. During the hearing on August 1, 2017 former CJP Nisar had observed that penal consequence of collection of funds through prohibited sources is confiscation and not disqualification of party’s chief.

However, the PML-N counsel Akram Sheikh had referred Arshad Lodhi case judgment in which a parliamentarian was disqualified for submitting false affidavit.

Legal experts believe that after Khawaja Muhammad Asif case, new jurisprudence has been evolved wherein the courts examine intention of any lawmaker before giving declaration under Article 62 (1)(f) of Constitution, whose punishment is lifetime disqualification

The court in Khawaja Asif case laid down an ‘objective criteria’ to test the honesty of lawmakers by declaring that Article 62 (1)(f) cannot be applied to every omission or non-disclosure of assets.

“Mere omission to list an asset cannot be labeled as dishonesty unless some wrongdoing is associated with its acquisition or retention which is duly established in judicial proceedings,” said the judgment authored by Justice Faisal Arab.

Chaudhry Faisal Hussain advocate, who has appeared on behalf of PTI in this case, also said it is not a foreign funding case but a prohibited funding case and both have different penal consequences.

He said similar allegations of getting funds through prohibited sources are being faced by other major political parties. Therefore, the ECP must also examine details of their accounts.

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) received 'prohibited funds' from 34 foreign nationals and issued the party a show cause notice.

A three-member bench of the ECP announced the unanimous verdict — reserved in June earlier this year.

The electoral watchdog declared that 13 'unknown' accounts have been found linked to the party and the affidavit submitted by PTI chief Imran Khan was also 'false'.

Imran had personally issued certificates to the ECP in regards to Article 13(2) of the PPO to the effect that PTI “does not receive funds from prohibited sources”, meaning thereby that the PTI is not a foreign-aided political party.

The election commission, in its verdict, also stated the party violated Article 17 of the Constitution.

'Not a case of foreign funding'

PTI leader Farrukh Habib said that the party has maintained that "this was not a foreign funding case, this was a case about prohibited funding".

He further stated that those who propelled the narrative of the case being about "foreign funding" have been severely disappointed that the PTI was not banned today, it was only served a show cause notice.

"We will give a sufficient reply to the notice", he concluded.

Maleeka Bokhari, talking to the media after Habib, said media groups against the PTI and the coalition parties of PDM had "lost hope" today.

She claimed that the PTI was not the kind of party to accept foreign funding, however, the "propaganda" against it was furthered for years.

According to Bokhari, investigation committees were formed in 2018 to inquire into PTI funding but their reports were never made public because they proved nothing against the party. She maintained that the "biggest democratic party in Pakistan" was being pushed to the corner through a constitutional institution.

She asked PDM leaders to show their bank accounts, alleging that Benazir Bhutto had said that the PML-N felled her government with Osama Bin Laden's money and questioned why did the JUI-F had received funding from Libya's Saif al-Islam Gaddafi.

"All of this should have been done within the law, however, it is sad that these parties cannot match the PTI constitutionally and legally".

'Your politics have been buried'

Shiekh Rashid, a close ally of Imran, said after today the politics of PDM will be "buried". He expressed confidence that the case, if it is taken to the Supreme Court, will be done with in a single hearing.

He further said that the ECP should also decide on the funding cases of PML-N and PPP. "Nawaz Sharif took funds from al-Qaeda's Osama bin Laden."

When asked if there was any 'back-channel diplomacy', Rashid said he does not know of any such developments but politicians "never close their doors".

"Imran Khan is a popular voice of the people."

Security in the federal capital was placed on high alert before the much-awaited verdict. Extra contingents of police and riot police forces were deployed to avoid any untoward incident.

Before the verdict's announcement, PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry said the decision of the ECP will be in accordance with earlier court judgements, and the electoral watchdog will decide against the three main political parties of Pakistan - PTI, PML-N and PPP.

The former information added that political decisions "will be made by the people and not the ECP".

Prohibited funding has been proved and the PTI’s declaration found to be wrong, the counsel of petitioner Akbar S. Babar said after the election commission announced its decision in the PTI funding case, ARY News reported on Tuesday.

“Legal proceedings will begin over illegal transactions,” petitioner’s counsel said.

The ECP bench in its verdict said that prohibited funding against PTI has been proven and ruled that the party received funds from business tycoon Arif Naqvi and from 34 foreign nationals.

A three-member bench headed by Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikander Sultan Raja, comprising Nisar Ahmed Durrani and Shah Muhammad Jatoi announced the reserved verdict.

Petitioner Akbar S. Babar has stated, ” the election commission’s decision has verified my allegations.” The decision has also confirmed that the PTI had kept its accounts secret.

“I had no personal interest in this case, I have proved right after a struggle after eight years with the power of truth,” he said.

“The ECP has confirmed that the PTI had spoken untruth on massive scale. All certificates submitted by Imran Khan with his signatures were false. He had issued threats to the election commission and the chief election commissioner” petitioner stated.

“The election commission’s decision has built a wall before the fascism, now the constitutional institutions will decide the matter on proof” he said. “The decision that announced today has buried the doctrine of necessity, it is an eye opener for the PTI workers,” he said.

“An independent election commission has framed charges against the PTI,” he said. “The time has ripe for a regime change in the PTI,” he said. “I demand Imran Khan to step down and handover the party to its ideological workers,” he stated.

“A final decision will also come from the supreme court,” he added.

Minister for Economic Affairs Sardar Ayaz Sadiq on Monday asked National Assembly (NA) Speaker Raja Pervaiz Ashraf to constitute a special parliamentary committee to probe the allegations of foreign funding on former premier Imran Khan.

Speaking on a point of order in the House, Ayaz emphasised that the committee should have representation of both the opposition and government members in the NA.

"Former Director General Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Bashir Memon should be summoned to brief the committee about the allegations and proceedings of the committee should be broadcast live so that the people could know about the corruption of former prime minister Imran Khan," he added.

The panel should highlight the individuals who donated the money to PTI, he suggested and went on to call for another joint parliamentary body to investigate the "criminal aspect" of foreign funding after seeking a report from the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

The main character in foreign funding Arif Naqvi,a Pakistani businessman, who was the founder and chief executive of the Dubai-based private equity firm. The Abraaj Group, would be extradited to the United States for probe.

The committee should formulate a policy as to what to do if the US demands extradition of Imran Khan following the investigations from Arif Naqvi.

Meanwhile, Leader of Opposition in the NA Raja Riaz Ahmed, speaking on the floor, announced that he was ready to tender his resignation if PTI chief Imran Khan on the condition that PTI chief Imran Khan returns to the National Assembly.

Mr Ahmed, a PTI dissident, slammed Mr Khan and pointed out that now that the resignations of 11 members of the PTI were accepted, the party challenged the decision in the Islamabad High Court IHC).

He further demanded said that Imran accounts for the alleged corruption committed by Nadeem Babar and Farah Khan. "If Imran Khan comes to the House, then I am ready to resign."

"I did not vote against Imran Khan, only his allies abandoned him. I am still a part of the PTI," he claimed.

Later, speak on the point of order, the opposition leader urged the federal government to distribute compensation money amongst those affected by the recent flash floods and torrential rains across the country.

He said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who is currently visiting Balochistan, should direct to expedite relief activities.

MNA Malik Afreen Khan stressed the need for declaring Kohistan calamity hit areas.
He regretted over the lack of basic facilities, including food and water, being provided to the victims of the recent flooding.

Afreen urged the government to ensure medical facilities for the flood-affected people.

The verdict disappointed those who were pushing the narrative of foreign funding against the PTI, said Farrukh Habib. He maintained that they were of the view that it was a case of prohibited funding but not of foreign funding.

Raising questions over the ECP, the PTI leader said that the IHC had ordered to probe the accounts of all the political parties without any discrimination.

He said that the scrutiny committee tasked to probe the accounts of PTI completed its work on time but the committees established to check the accounts of PPP and PML were yet to submit their report.

Fawad Chaudhry said overseas Pakistanis raised funds for the PTI, adding that the ECP had acknowledged their narrative that it does not come under “foreign funding”.

In the next phase, the PTI will prove that the 16 accounts are legal, adding that these accounts are “subsidiary accounts,” said Fawad Chaudhry.

“No party has the right to hide its funding from the people,” the PTI leader.

He demanded of the election body to announce its verdict in the funding case against PPP and PML-N after the PTI.

“I am unable to understand why PML-N and JUI-F have considered overseas Pakistanis as their enemies,” he added.

Oversees Pakistanis are the backbone of the country, the PTI leader said, adding that they will continue relying on the expats for funding.

“Today's decision is not correct,” Fawad added.

‘Nation seeks reply’

Taking to his Twitter handle, PTI leader Asad Umar said that ECP has fulfilled his wish by announcing the verdict in the party’s funding case.

“The nation seeks reply why funding reports of PPP and PML-N are not being released?” asked the PTI leader.

Raising questions on ECP, Asad Umar said that the election body was sheltering PDM parties by violating the directions of the SC and the high court.

CEC should resign voluntarily: Sheikh Rasheed

Speaking to Geo News, Awami Muslim League chief Sheikh Rasheed said that today's decision would not lead to a crisis that would not be manageable.

"The law should be the same for all parties," the former interior minister, a staunch ally of Khan, said while terming the Constitution of Pakistan "a nose of wax".

The AML chief, stressing that no major political turn will occur as a result of the order, said that no matter what the government tries to do, it will not be able to harm the PTI chairman.

Turning his guns on the government's major players, Rasheed said he was "ready to say this on oath" that parties received funding from slain terrorist "Osama Bin Laden".

He then sought Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja's voluntary resignation — a demand that the PTI and its allies have been making for months now.

Hailing the ECP’s verdict in the PTI funding case, PML-N senior leader and former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said the judgment has proved Imran Khan is the "biggest thief".

The ECP, in its unanimous verdict today, said it has found that the PTI received prohibited funding from foreign nationals and companies.

Berating the PTI in his hard-hitting press conference following the judgment, Khaqan Abbasi said that Imran Khan received funding worth Rs1.5 billion illegally.

Those who gave funds to Imran Khan include Indian and Israeli citizens, he added.

A huge amount was also received from the US, the PML-N leader said, adding that the law does not allow to accept funds from even a single foreigner.

“If the amount was meant for welfare then how Rs550 million were transferred into the accounts of the political party,” asked the PTI leader.

The whole conspiracy stands exposed before the masses as the funds were received by the PTI from foreign nationals and companies to do politics in Pakistan, the PML-N leader said, adding “the law will take its course on the matter.”

Toba, illegally getting funds from overseas. Should be jailed.. Interesting thing is this is all pre 2013, what must have happened post. I remember it was these fans that were the most vocal against MQM getting foreign funding in the past.

Anyways, this is just the tip of the iceberg, otherwise PTI gets funding in a very suspicious manner.

I know an extended family member who has a salary of 30k, but yet often goes to these fund raising galas of Imran Khan, and pose with those big cheques of Rs.3-10lakh and a picture with imran khan.

Basically, these people are used by pawns by bigger players who get their money transferred from foreign bases towards the accounts of "pawns" who than donate it to pti. These pawns get happy to be getting their pic taken with immy.

My personal opinion in here is that PDM / Higher powers have now played their last set of cards against Imran Khan. Further, I believe this decision from ECP is lacklustre compared to the hype that was being built around it. But more importantly IK / PTI is now free from any further hanging swords. If anything IK / PTI would become more loud now going forward and make life hell for sitting government.

Legally speaking PTI would challenge this verdict with SC today over malafide intentions and SC would then order ECP to form a committee to ensure similar findings for all political parties are presented for a verdict. This finding from ECP would not fall through hence there is no weightage from this ECP order.

On the flip side, if IK comes into power next time can then use the SC advise to create a committee and then find additional laundered money through illicit channels of PMLN and PPP which would be a much higher crime. So all in all this can backfire on PMLN and PPP big time now going forward.

For now, there will be noise then PTI will reach out to SC who would go back to ECP to find similar findings on other parties and all matter will die down in 10 days time at max.

Hiding accounts is a violation of the constitution. False Declaration in Form 1 made under oath. - Election Comission

I remember a certain syed1 who used to go around claiming that bilalwal falsified his asset declaration in electrion forms, when the rukes clearly stated that it should mentioned the price it was bought for....

Turns out it was imran who had falsified his elections forms all along ) .

People were donating money to SKMH without knowing that their money was being diverted into PTI accounts.

Using hospital donations to fund a political campaign under the table is unforgivable. It completely exposes Imran Khan as a fraud and a despicable human being.

IK followers will try to find a way to defend and justify this but the cat is out of the bag now.

Utterly shameful.

My personal opinion in here is that PDM / Higher powers have now played their last set of cards against Imran Khan. Further, I believe this decision from ECP is lacklustre compared to the hype that was being built around it. But more importantly IK / PTI is now free from any further hanging swords.

It's basically water off the ducks back regarding imran. He knew once he took total control of Punjab then the croocks will resort to every way possible to destabilise captain.

 

[Sher Khan]

Great news on the ECP verdict. Huge appreciation for Sikandar Raja for taking the correct decision despite all the pressure Imran Khan was putting on him.

Imran knew from day one the case would reveal his dirty secrets that's why he was so keen to see Raja gone.

Imran has committed a far worse crime than Nawaz and needs to be handed a lifetime disqualification punishment.

 

[mazkhan]

It's the crooks/establishment and their zionist globalist backers of basically sidelining pti and banning the organisation .

Pti and ik will never be allowed to comeback in power

And if they become a protest movement and come out on the streets the backers will give them the nod for arrests and crush them the sameway the muslim brotherhood was crushed by general sisi.
Ik would probably be arrested and disposed off

Our only hope is russia and China who imo are on a direct collision course with globalists/zionists now so we will have to see how this all pans out ukraine Taiwan economic sanctions etc . If russia and China come out victorious there may be a hope of a revolution in pakistan to dispose of the foreign agents installed.

The ECP and Raja says that the PTI shouldn't have take funding from Naqvi because he has been charged with crimes. Can you tell us when he was charged and when he gave the money And don't run?

And also tell why Raja hasn't investigated the other 2 parties simultaneously as per the SC verdict in 2017

How s it great news? Back in 2017 supreme court verdict was all parties would be investigated at the Same time.

Today's ruling from Ecp shows they are working to PDM's agenda and cannot be taken seriously. In the coming days PTI will take this to supreme court and once pmln and PPP become part of the investigation then youl see all this die down immediately!

ISLAMABAD: (Dunya News) Federal Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar and Federal Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah on Tuesday said that the government will decide to ban Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and its chairman Imran Khan.

While holding a press conference with Rana Sanaullah, Azam Nazir Tarar said that former prime minister Imran Khan has done his politics with funds worth millions of rupees.

The ministers said it would also be seen whether other party members would also be disqualified, adding that the PTI chairman should be banned for life for concealing the facts.

While appealing to the Supreme Court, the PML-N leaders said that the full SC bench should hear the matter.

Azam Nazir Tarar has asked Imran Khan to apologize to the country and resign following the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) verdict on the prohibited funding case.

Taking a dig at Imran Khan, Tarar said that he used the donation money for politics. Tarar said that every political party has to report expenditure, income and resources to the ECP.

Tarar said PTI has expressed disinterest with its accounts and said Imran Khan’s money trail contradicts its statement.

Rana Sanaullah said that today a constitutional body has declared Imran Khan a thief.

Taking a swipe at the former prime minister, the interior minister said the PTI chief used charity money for politics.

Imran Khan should apologize to the country for today’s decision of Election Commission and resign, Rana asked the former premier.

Apart from this, Rana further said that the information has just been received that the senior officers of the Pakistan Army aboard the missing helicopter have been martyred.

The Federal Interior Minister prayed for the upliftment of the ranks of the officers and staff of the Pakistan Army who were martyred in the helicopter incident.

He said that when the helicopter went missing yesterday, the entire country was praying for the safety of its Army brothers. The Interior Minister prayed that Allah Almighty would give courage and strength to the families of martyrs to bear this trauma.

Rana said that in the Holy Quran, there is a clear command of Allah Almighty about those who sacrificed their lives for the country that, "You should not call them dead, they are alive, but you do not know about it". He said, "This shock is unbearable for all of us."

the only reason nobody could do anything about the massive PTI win in the Punjab by elections, no matter hoard they tried dhandhli, other tactics, etc is because the public opinion and people are so much against PDM and the military right now its not even funny. We were going to see riots if something untoward happened with PTI.

This tactic is just to change that public opinion of PTI and turn it against them so they can continue doing their usual stuff in the coming days.

They basically want people to go back to sleep and start behaving like sheep again. Thats the establishment's goal right now.

A petition was filed in the Election Commission of Commission for the lifetime disqualification of former prime minister Imran Khan under Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution, ARY News reported.

The development comes after ECP, in a unanimous verdict on Tuesday, said it has found that the PTI received prohibited funding.

Amun Taraqqi Party (ATP) Chairman Muhammad Faiq Shah filed the petition in the election watchdog seeking lifetime disqualification of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan.

Unmute
The petitioner stated that Imran Khan has submitted a “false affidavit” with ECP there he should be lifetime disqualified under Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution.

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday announced the much-awaited verdict in the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) prohibited funding case.

ECP, in its unanimous verdict, ruled that the party received funds from business tycoon Arif Naqvi and from 34 foreign nationals.

The ECP also said that former prime minister Imran Khan submitted a misdeclaration in the PTI prohibited funding case. The electoral watchdog also decided to issue a show-cause notice to the PTI to explain why the commission should not seize the funds it receiv

The federal government on Tuesday decided to put former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan as well as other party leader leaders on the Exit Control List (ECL) following the top electoral authority's verdict in the foreign funding case.

The decision was reportedly made by the federal Cabinet in light of the much-delayed verdict.

The government has subsequently decided to put the former premier, ex-governors of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh and former chairman of the Utility Stores Corporation (USC) Zulqarnain Ali Khan on the no-fly list.

Earlier today, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) said the former ruling party received 'prohibited funds' from 34 foreign nationals and 351 companies based outside the country.

The PTI was issued a show cause notice after the unanimous verdict — reserved in June earlier this year – by the three-member bench of the ECP headed by Chief Election Commissioner Sikander Sultan Raja.

The electoral watchdog also declared that 13 'unknown' accounts have been found linked to the party and the submissions by PTI chief Imran Khan were 'inaccurate and wrong'.

The former premier had personally issued certificates to the ECP in regards to Article 13(2) of the PPO to the effect that PTI “does not receive funds from prohibited sources”, meaning thereby that the PTI is not a foreign-aided political party.

The election commission, in its verdict, also stated the party violated Article 17(3) (3) of the Constitution as the PTI failed to declare three bank accounts operated by the party's senior leadership and the concealment of 16 bank accounts by the party was a "serious lapse".

Multiple PTI donors, mentioned in the ECP’s verdict, have pointed out multiple flaws and errors in the verdict, claiming they are not foreign nationals and have donated money using legitimate channels, ARY News reported.

The owner of the National Food Processing Factory Shoaib Ahmed Basra said that his company which donated funds to PTI is located in Bahawalpur, and the ECP has deemed it as a foreign fund. Shoaib said that he donated Rs10,500 to PTI in 2011.

My company has been misappropriated in the foreign funding list as a Canadian company, he added.

Another donor Asif Khan said that he donated $100 to the party in 2013 in his personal capacity via his PayPal account, however, ECP has named his former company Prabust Inc in the foreign fundings list of the case.

Another PTI donor Beenish Faridi, who donated PTI $250 in 2013, termed the ECP verdict ‘outrageous’. She is not a foreign national as deemed by the ECP, she said in a video message.

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday announced the much-awaited verdict in the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) prohibited funding case.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shibli Faraz said on Tuesday that they rejected the report and verdict of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in the prohibited funding case, ARY News reported.

Shibli Faraz, while talking to ARY News programme ‘Off the Record’ today, said that PTI will challenge the ECP verdict in the prohibited funding case in the Islamabad High Court (IHC).

“The whole world knows the social work of Imran Khan who used all of his assets for welfare work. If Imran Khan signs a bat then it will be sold in millions.”

Faraz said that PTI brought political funding to Pakistan. “Everybody knows well about the political party that used the party’s bank accounts for money laundering. Everything will be made transparent in the court.”

He said that contradictions were found in the scrutiny committee’s report and the ECP verdict was based on malice. “Appointing blue-eyed persons to the institutions was also a kind of corruption who were later used for making partial decisions.’
