Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan will appear before the Election Commission of Pakistan today (Thursday) in response to a plea seeking Khan's disqualification. A plea has been filed before the ECP alleging that the PTI has received funds from prohibited sources whereas the PTI chairman has lied to ECP about the funds. The petitioner claimed that the PTI collected $2.992 million from foreign and other "prohibited" sources.
In October 18, appearing on behalf of the petitioner before a five-member bench led by the Chief Election Commission former Justice Sardar Muhammad Raza in the matter, Sharafat A Chaudhry had contended that Imran Khan has filed an incorrect certificate in respect to party funds saying Khan does not fulfil requirements of the Articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution as he received funds through the sources prohibited under the law. Imran Khan is expected to submit a reply on December 01 (today).
