On September 12, PTI moved the apex court over the issue requesting the Supreme Court to declare the PML-N and the PPP as foreign-funded parties, receiving funds from prohibited sources. In October, the top court refused to entertain PTI’s constitutional petitions.
The applications were filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Asad Umar and Shireen Mazari. The CJP heard the requests in his chamber and then set guidelines for the initial hearing of the case.
PTI leader Farrukh Habib also filed two separate applications with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on the matter.
