Former ECP secretary: Imran Khan is more powerful than the Prime Minister

Karachi: Ex-election commission secretary Kanwar Dilshad claimed on Wednesday that PTI leader Imran Khan is more powerful than the prime minister.

The king, he said on Aaj News’ morning broadcast, is making a political demand for general elections. “In Pakistan, no one has ever been a politician like him. Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, AJK, and the GB are all under his control. “What is the point of holding national elections?”

The ECP’s three-member panel, which heard the PTI financing issue, decided on Tuesday that the PTI had taken unlawful funding from foreign corporations and concealed 13 accounts out of the 34 that it had received money from.

As a result of the development, the coalition government held a series of news conferences. A party that claimed to be ousted by a foreign conspiracy was criticized for allegedly collecting prohibited funding and deceiving the public.

PTI, on the other hand, seems unfazed and has hailed the decision as a “success.” Leader Maleek Bokhari, however, said that propaganda was being created against the country’s “largest” party, the PTI, which has vowed to dispute the ruling in the high court.

Political parties, according to Dilshad, have the right to examine or criticize the ECP’s decision. His statement was followed by an announcement that the Federal Election Commission might seize any unlawful funds following an investigation.

The PTI head was lambasted by the former secretary for accusing the CEC of personal bias.

He continued, “The State Bank of Pakistan has proven the banned financing, not ECP.” Dilshad recommended the PTI to file a petition with the Supreme Court to challenge the ECP’s verdict, but he urged the party to refrain from criticizing the organization.

It’s impossible for a party to be banned in this current economic climate, Dilshad said. “The people will not accept such decisions.” A party cannot be outlawed by the ECP or the federal government.

The former secretary predicted that the show cause notice case would take days in court.

It will cost about Rs1 trillion to hold elections in 2023, he predicted.
