Instruction not to write PTI funding case as foreign funding case

Islam Abad (94 news) Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja has issued instructions that the prohibited funding case of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf should not be written as a foreign funding case.

The hearing of PTI's prohibited funding case was held in the Election Commission of Pakistan under the chairmanship of Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja.

During the hearing, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf's lawyer Anwar Mansoor raised an objection to writing the 'Foreign Funding' case.

He was of the view that even today foreign funding is written in the cause list, whereas from the first day he has maintained that this case is not of foreign funding but of prohibited funding.

On the objection of PTI's lawyer, Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja instructed the staff of the Election Commission not to write the case as a foreign funding case.

The Chief Election Commissioner also told PTI's counsel that your client has also been using the word foreign funding in the media, your position is correct and therefore instructions have been issued.
