Expressing dismay over the prolonged inaction, Babar underscored the urgency of addressing the issue of PTI’s foreign bank accounts, which he claimed had been flagged but not been subjected to legal scrutiny. He cautioned against the potential misuse of illegal foreign accounts for activities detrimental to national interests.

Babar wrote that despite evidence of PTI’s involvement in illegal foreign funding, comprehensive legal action has yet to be taken, raising alarming implications for national security. He called for the full implementation of all aspects of the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) August 2022 decision in the foreign funding case, stressing the gravity of maintaining transparency and accountability in political finances.

Moreover, Babar also noted that it is imperative to hold accountable all Pakistani citizens involved in tarnishing the country’s reputation by utilising secret foreign accounts for unlawful activities.
