Imran's criticism of ECP reflects 'his fear of foreign funding case': Maryam
The PML-N leader responds to the demand of the PTI chairman to remove the CEC
Lahore: PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Monday said PTI Chairman Imran Khan was criticising the Eclection Commission of Pakistan (ECP) because of his "fear of being exposed" in the foreign funding case.
Maryam's remarks came after former prime minister Imran addressed the nation and demanded Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikander Sultan Raja's resignation over his alleged favouring of the PML-N in electoral battles, including the by-elections in Punjab on Sunday.
اپنی ہی 20 سیٹوں پر 5 ہار جانے پر زیادہ زعم میں آنے کی ضرورت نہیں۔ ECP پر آپ کا اٹیک وہ دھاندلی نہیں جو ہوئی ہی نہیں،بلکہ فارن فنڈنگ فیصلے کا خوف ہے۔آپ کو معلوم ہے کہ اس میں آپ کے خلاف ناقابلِ تردید شواہد سامنے آ چکے ہیں جن کا منظرِ عام ہر لایا جانا ناگزیر ہے۔ ECP جلد فیصلہ سنائے

Without naming anyone in her tweet, Maryam said criticism of the ECP was not due to rigging, which she said did not even take place. "It is the fear of the foreign funding case," she said.
She went on to say that "there is irrefutable evidence against you which has to be revealed inevitably." She demanded of the ECP to issue its verdict on the case soon.
The case, which was filed by Akbar S Babar, has been pending since Nov 14, 2014. Babar, who was a founding member of the PTI but is no longer associated with it, had alleged serious financial irregularities in the party's funding from Pakistan and abroad.
