Legal experts have termed the prohibited funding of PTI as violation of Political Parties Act.
Speaking in a program of Radio Pakistan’s News and Current Affairs Channel on Tuesday, senior lawyers of Supreme Court also urged the PTI leadership to answer the show cause notice of Election Commission of Pakistan instead of criticizing Chief Election Commission.
Senior Lawyer Shahid Kamal said the ECP decision has put the onus on PTI to prove that its funding doesn’t lie in the category of prohibited funding, failing which would lead to forfeiting the specific funding. He said the false affidavit provided by PTI in ECP would create more problems for the party including a complete ban.
Nawaz Kharal said the ECP decision on PTI foreign funding case has exposed PTI’s reality and now they have to prove that the funding was not illegal.
