Posted on 21st Nov 2022 by rohit kumar

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the party of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, has been receiving funds from abroad even after 2013. The Election Commission had earlier informed that PTI received funds from various foreign organizations from 2008 to 2013. Please tell that PTI has received these funds illegally, which is prohibited in the law of the country. However, new documents have now come to the fore, which claim that PTI has been receiving such funds even after 2013.

 

Received over $400,000 in just one year

According to the information, PTI allegedly received $4,01,956 from foreign entities and individuals registered in the US from October 2014 to March 2015. It has been alleged that PTI leaders Ali Zaidi and Imran Ismail traveled to the US and collected funds during this period. However, it is not yet clear which party leader's bank accounts have received funds from foreign entities. The News International reported that Abdullah Riar, secretary of PTI's international affairs office, did not give any details about these transactions. Abdullah Riar is responsible for handling the party's affairs abroad.

 

Names of various organizations included in the list

A report submitted to the US Department of Justice on the matter allegedly mentions donors who have sent funds to PTI's accounts, which raises questions. Funding the party, according to the report, were SOA AGILITY, Healing Hands of Virginia Fantasy Activewear, SK Financial CPA LLC, Northside Cardiology, Suzanne Palin, Paris Limousine Service Corp., Marwat Associates, LLC Autobahn Limousine, Reliable Assets Inc, Trading Corporation, Crescent, Cleaning Services, Epic Consulting LLC, East West Realty LLC, Medex Research Institute LLC, Route 69 Country Store and Magnum Opus Systems Corp., among many others.

 

34 foreign nationals and 351 foreign-based companies included

Explain that PTI alleged that this amount was received from 34 foreign nationals and 351 foreign-based companies. The report submitted to the US Department of Justice states that the funds collected from US entities were transferred in five major transactions. According to the documents, firms registered in the US were tasked with raising funds for these political parties. Meanwhile, Akbar S Babar, petitioner in the PTI foreign funding case against Imran Khan, has sought the issuance of notice to the former PM for gross violation of political funding laws in Pakistan.
