ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) Tuesday started hearing Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf?s (PTI) petitions, which accused PML-N and the PPP of illegal funding while notices were issued to party chiefs of respective parties to file replies.


Faisal Chaudhry appeared for the petitioner Farrukh Habib of PTI while advocate Jahangir Jadoon will represent PML-N and PPP leader Latif Khosa to defend his party in the case. The ECP?s five-member bench, headed by Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Justice Sardar Muhammad Raza,issued notices to PML-N President Nawaz Sharif and PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari seeking their replies in the case.

The ECP directed the two parties to submit their replies in the case till January 8, 2018. In its judgement last week on the petition filed against the PTI regarding similar allegations of foreign funding, the Supreme Court had said the matter would be sent back to the ECP for investigation.

The hearing was adjourned until January 8, 2018. In two separate complaints with the Election Commission, Farrukh Habib has accused PML-N and the PPP of concealing their sources of funds and companies registered by them in the United Kingdom and the United States, respectively. Therefore, he sought cancellation of election symbols allocated to them ?for their failure to meet legal requirements for eligibility to obtain the symbols?.
