Pakistan opposition parties on Tuesday slammed the Prime Minister after a report of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) scrutiny committee probing Imran Khan’s party funds revealed that it has hidden funds worth millions of rupees and called him a “thief”.
Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) spokesperson Hafiz Hamdullah, in a statement, said the scrutiny committee’s report has “revealed the theft of Imran Khan and PTI”, reported Geo News. “The scrutiny committee has exposed the true face of the PTI before the nation […] Imran Khan and PTI, who accused others of theft, turned out to be thieves themselves,” he said.
The spokesperson said the report has “proven” that PM Imran Khan is “not sadiq and ameen” anymore, as he demanded the premier to disclose the purpose for which the hidden bank accounts were used.
Lashing out at Khan, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) Vice-President Maryam Nawaz said Imran Khan had not only “stolen and hidden money, but also plundered the people”, reported Geo News.
Maryam said the “constant leaks, revelations, and evidence, are more than enough to bring down the PTI”.
“No other party in history has been behind such serious fraud and scandals,” she said. “Has there been such a corrupt, liar, and conspiratorial ruler like Imran Khan in the history of Pakistan?” she asked. The ECP report stated that the PTI provided “false information” regarding the party’s funding. It said that the State Bank of Pakistan’s (SBP) statement revealed that the party had received Rs 1.64 billion in funding, Geo News reported.
