ISLAMABAD: PTI continued to receive foreign funding after 2013 although the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in its ruling stated that the party received funding from 2008 to 2013, The News reported Sunday, citing official documents.
The party received $401,956 from October 2014 to March 2015 which also included foreign-registered entities in the United States.
During this period, PTI leaders Ali Zaidi and Imran Ismail visited the US and organised fundraisers. The party generated $401,956.30 in funds, out of which $305,000 were transferred to the party's accounts in Pakistan.
However, it is unclear which party accounts received these funds. Even the PTI’s Office of International Chapter (OIC) Secretary Abdullah Riar, who deals with the party’s overseas affairs, has no information about the amount in question.
Interestingly, the party also received funds and donations from individual donors and foreign-registered entities. The documents submitted before the US Department of Justice contain a list of the donors, according to which the party received donations from several foreign-registered companies.
The ECP, in its foreign funding case verdict, has already declared such transactions as prohibited funding. In its verdict on the PTI foreign funding case, the ECP said that the party “knowingly and willfully” received donations from foreign-registered entities violating Pakistani laws.
“PTI Pakistan, through fundraising campaigns by PTI USA LLC-6160 and PTI USA LLC-5975, was the recipient of donations from 34 foreign nationals and 351 foreign-based companies.
“Collection of donations and contributions from foreign nationals and companies is prohibited and in violation of Pakistani laws,” the verdict says. “Therefore, the matter falls within the ambit of Article 6(3) of the Political Parties Order 2002 (PPO).”
