ISLAMABAD, August 2: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday said the verdict of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had yet again proved Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan as a ‘certified liar’ over submitting false affidavits.
“The ECP verdict on PTI foreign funding case charge sheets Imran Niazi for violating the Constitution, submitting false affidavits, and accepting foreign money,” the prime minister said in a tweet after the ECP announced the verdict this morning.
PM Sharif said, “Proven yet again that he is a certified liar”. The prime minister urged the nation to think about the impact of Imran Khan’s politics funded by foreigners. “Nation should ponder over the implications of his politics funded by foreigners,” he said.
The ECP, in a unanimous verdict, ruled that the PTI did indeed receive prohibited funding and issued a notice to the party asking why the funds should not be confiscated.
A three-member ECP bench headed by Chief Election Commissioner Sikander (CEC) Sultan Raja announced the verdict in a case filed by PTI founding member Akbar S. Babar which had been pending since November 14, 2014. -SABAH
