"The public has a right to know."Notably, PTI and leaders have been targeting the ECP after the electoral watchdog's verdict in a prohibited funding case.PTI chief Imran Khan had earlier accused the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and said that the body was a "pet of the coalition government."ECP had revealed that the money received from the foreign countries was used by Khan to fund PTI and he made false declarations in 2018 before the elections.The ECP in its decision issued a show-cause notice to the PTI, as to why the prohibited funds may not be confiscated as confiscation of the prohibited funds is the domain of the ECP.The foreign funding case has been pending since November 14, 2014, and it was filed by PTI founding member Akbar S Babar, who alleged some financial irregularities in the PTI's funding from Pakistan and abroad.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
