Foreign funding case: Maryam Nawaz urges ECP to announce verdict

Staff Writer

Lahore: Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) Vice-President Maryam Nawaz this week demanded the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) announce the verdict of the foreign funding case at the earliest.

Maryam Nawaz said in a Twitter message that Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) should not get too excited about losing five of its own provincial assembly seats in the recent Punjab by-polls. She alleged that PTI was launching criticism against the ECP due to fear of the foreign funding case.

She claimed that PTI leaders were aware of indisputable evidence against them and it was inevitable to publicise. The PML-N VP demanded ECP announce the verdict of the PTI foreign funding case at the earliest.

PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif claimed that PTI will be eliminated if the verdict of the foreign funding case goes against it.

He said that the president should prioritise the national interests and how would a president refuses to administer oaths besides seeking approval of his step from the nation.

Sharif said that Ishaq Dar had stabilised the national economy but the previous PTI-led government destroyed it.
