Foreign funding case: PTI counsel claims dual nationals allowed to fund political parties

Dual nationals allowed by law to fund political parties, PTI counsel claims

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s (PTI) counsel on Tuesday claimed that dual nationals were permitted under the law to fund political parties, as the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) resumed hearing the foreign funding case against the party on Tuesday.

A three-member bench headed by Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja conducted the hearing. During the hearing, PTI’s counsel Anwar Mansoor raised an objection against the ECP, saying it was not fully functional as it was operating without two of its members, who retired in 2019.

The counsel also cited Article 218 of the Constitution, which stipulates the formation of a “permanent election commission consisting of a chairman and four members, one from each province”.

He contended that the ECP was not entitled to issue orders on any matter until it was fully functional. He made this observation in reference to April 12 announcement by the ECP regarding the delimitation schedule for the National Assembly and provincial assemblies for the next general elections.

The PTI counsel said the documents provided by the ECP’s scrutiny committee to petitioner Akbar Babar were not bona fide, adding that Babar talked out of context on the matter during his interactions with the media.

After hearing his arguments, the ECP adjourned the hearing till next week, declaring it would hold proceedings for three consecutive days in the coming week.

The ECP had last week said it would hear the case on a daily basis in line with the Islamabad High Court’s order which directed it to dispose of the matter within 30 days.

The IHC issued the order after it dismissed an appeal of the PTI against the ECP order rejecting two PTI applications seeking dismissal of the foreign funding case and disassociating its petitioner Akbar S. Babar from the case and keeping the PTI documents secret.

On January 4 this year, the ECP’s scrutiny committee, formed in March 2018 to examine the PTI’s foreign funding in one month, finally submitted its report after 95 hearings and nearly four years.

The report, based on eight volumes of record requisitioned through the State Bank of Pakistan, proved that the PTI leadership had allegedly committed gross violations of funding laws by allowing the collection of millions of dollars and billions of rupees without any source and details from foreigners.
