One of the founding members of the Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has alleged that the party has been receiving funds from Jewish and Indian lobbies for furthering their agendas. The allegation was levelled during a television programme by PTI’s founding member Akbar S Babar, who has submitted what he calls documentary evidence with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
According to a report of the Jewish Funding Directory, foreigners, including American Barry C. Schneps and US-born Indian Indur Dosanjh, had been funding the PTI for lobbying in their favour and interests.Babar, responding to the report, said an audit in 2011 had revealed illegal funding in the party but its report was not made public. He claimed he had asked the PTI chairman to audit the funds received from foreigners but he had refused to do so. Read: QWP poised to become PTI’s right hand in coalition
Babar filed a case against the party on November 14, 2014, pointing out the incoming funds.
During the hearing of his petition in the ECP, the PTI lawyer raised objections that the commission did not have the jurisdiction to hear the case. The ECP, however, rejected his argument. In May, the party changed its lawyer for the second time and nominated Anwar Mansoor Khan to pursue the case.
Babar alleged the PTI’s audit report neither mentions the said case
nor contains information about foreign funding.
To a question, he said the petition against the PTI and its chief would be decided on October 8. “I hope the judges will give a verdict on merit,” he added. Read: Showdown in PML-N bastion? PTI drops D-Chowk rally for Lahore on October 9
PTI leader Ali Muhammad agreed that the issue needs to be investigated. He said the investigation should cover all political parties, whose leaders rule Pakistan but own palaces in Dubai and England. Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Danyal Aziz said it was the ECP’s responsibility to keep an eye on foreign funding to all parties and to stop and seize such funds.
**In this case the circumstantial evidence is so overwhelming it simply cannot be ignored!
For Mr Imran Khan his children will always come first…and they are citizens of Israel by birth right! or doesn’t everyone know that in Pakistan? may be all except those who believe strongly that “paani main se bijli nikal do tu peechay kia raha”**
Israel’s Law of Return stipulates that a Jew is someone with a Jewish mother or someone who has converted to Judaism.[17] The Israeli Chief Rabbinate requires documents proving the Jewishness of one’s mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother when applying for marriage.[18] The Office of the Chief Rabbi (OCR) has underlined the basic principle that a child is not recognised by the OCR and other bodies as Jewish unless his or her mother is Jewish.[19]
I remember, due to Anti Pakistan stance and statements of MQM same kind of allegations were levelled on them and guess what, after sufferring hue losses and getting Karachi tranished we finally realized that MQM/Altaf was on foreign Pay-Roll…
TTP/Baitullah Mehsood, same allegation on him due his statement or acts, and 10 year later TTP was the biggest menace in Pakistan…
PTI, so far they had been against all strategic decisions/position Pakistan has taken, Imran Khan has not only categorically opposed any development in the country but have sided, TTP and MQM…we have seen him on the wrong side of the history in almost all decision, he has been one of the major reason of the split, lately he has been found creating division between Pakhtoon and Punjabi…
I guess our agencies need to investigate him, his funding case is in Highcourt, from where he is running… i despite trying haven’t seen any development project of any value his party have launched in KPK ( and billiom tree project has failed)..
