ISLAMABAD, July 25 (TNS): The documents submitted by Imran Khan with regarding the London flat and cricket contracts are incomplete and unverified, said Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hanif Abbasi, who has filed a petition in Supreme Court to disqualify PTI chief, in his reply to the apex court on Monday.
In his 15-point reply, Abbasi, appealed to the apex court to dismiss Imran’s ‘money trail’ as it is doubtful and an attempt to mislead the court.
The three-judge bench, headed by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar, will be hearing the case today.
Abbasi filed petition in the Supreme Court late last year seeking to disqualify Imran and PTI’s Jehangir Tareen for ‘not declaring their assets to the Election Commission of Pakistan and alleged violations of the lncome Tax Ordinance 1979 and Peoples Act 1974’. The petition also terms the PTI a ‘foreign funded party’.
The PTI on Monday submitted a detailed reply to the court. The 700-page reply states that the PTI collected funds from people with dual citizenship, adding that funds received by an agent company are not illegal or foreign.
The reply further states that the PTI chief raised funds from abroad to ensure transparency. Pakistan People’s Party and PML-N also raised funds abroad but the party leaders have yet to submit details of their funding, the reply states. It says Abbasi’s allegations aim to malign the party, and that the petitioner did not submit any concrete evidence to prove his case.
The reply also mentions that the petitioner claimed that PTI received funds from non-Muslims and foreign sources. “These allegations by the petitioner seek to batter the minority community of the country,” it states.
