ISLAMABAD: The foreign funding case petitioner, Akbar S Babar, through his counsel, has moved the Election Commission of Pakistan for starting contempt proceedings against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership for walking out and boycotting its scrutiny committee meeting Wednesday.The PTI team of lawyers and financial representatives had protested the detailed ECP order of October 10, 2019 whereby, it had rejected all four PTI applications seeking secrecy of scrutiny and barring the petitioner of the foreign funding case to participate in the scrutiny committee meetings. The order termed the foreign funding case as ‘the worst historical example of abuse of the process of law’ and accused PTI of delaying the scrutiny process ‘one way or the other’.In the hand written application filed, the petitioner’s counsel Badar Iqbal Chaudhery narrated the entire episode of PTI walkout and claims that before boycotting the proceedings, the PTI legal team consulted his clients for almost 45 minutes and announced that they had been ‘specifically instructed to boycott’ the scrutiny proceedings.
