ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has urged the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to announce long delayed judgment in PTI foreign funding case.

In a tweet on Tuesday, he said former Prime Minister Imran Khan has been given a free pass for long despite his repeated and shameless attacks on state institutions. He said impunity given to Imran Khan has hurt the country.

Akbar S Babar, a founding but estranged leader of the PTI, had filed the foreign funding case on November 14, 2014, after he had developed differences with the party chief Imran Khan over internal corruption and abuse of laws governing political funding. The case was opened in March 2018, while the ECP has reserved its judgment since June 2022.
