ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday adjourned the case of irregularities in the party funds of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) which were received from abroad. The case is deferred till June 10.
The ECP’s bench headed by Chief Election Commissioner (CEC)Sardar Muhammad Raza Khan heard the case filed in November last year by PTI’s former information secretary Akbar S Babar who had alleged corruption and violation of laws in collection of donations from overseas Pakistanis and managing party funds. During the course of hearing, counsel of Akbar S Babar argued that PTI was using delaying tactics and pointed out the absence of their lawyer. He requested the bench to issue production orders as all evidences of receiving funding from abroad are with ECP now. To this, CEC summoned the PTI’s counsel on June 10 and adjourned the matter.
