ISLAMABAD Dec 19 (TNS): The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) will hear Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) petitions against the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) regarding alleged foreign funding today.

A five-member bench headed by Chief Election Commissioner will hear the petitions, which accuse the two parties of concealing their source of income and the companies registered by them abroad.

In its verdict last week on the petition filed against the PTI regarding similar allegations of foreign funding, the Supreme Court had said the matter would be sent back to the ECP for investigation.
