Election Commission of Pakistan reveals Imran Khan's PTI received funding from foreign nationals and companies
Islamabad: A report compiled by the scrutiny committee of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has found that PM Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) received funding from foreign nationals and companies, under-reported funds and concealed dozens of its bank accounts.
The report, a copy of which is available with Dawn, also mentions a refusal by the party to divulge details of large transactions and the panel’s helplessness to get details of PTI’s foreign accounts and the funds collected abroad.
According to the report, the party under-reported an amount of Rs 312 million over a four-year period, between FY 2009-10 and FY 2012-13. Year-wise details show that an amount of over Rs145m was under-reported in FY 2012-13 alone.
“A perusal of the chartered accountant’s opinion on the accounts of PTI for this period does not indicate any deviation from the reporting principles and standards,” the report points out as quoted by Dawn News.
It also calls into question the certificate signed by PTI chairman Imran Khan, submitted along with the details of PTI’s audited accounts, reports Dawn News.
