ISLAMABAD, Sep 18 (TNS): The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Monday submitted documents to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in relation to the foreign funding case.
A five-member bench of ECP headed by Chief Election Commissioner Justice (Retd) Sardar Raza Khan was hearing foreign funding case against PTI.
PTI’s counsel Saqlain Haider submitted details of party funds and accounts of 2010 to 2017. Following the submission, Haider asked the ECP to give a receipt to the party as confirmation of the submission of documents.
