It is pertinent to mention here that a counter-strategy for the opposition’s possible plans will be considered while some important decisions are also expected during the meeting. On the other hand, Akbar S Babar, petitioner in foreign funding case against the ruling PTI, has filed another petition accusing the PTI of using delaying tactics in the case. It is pertinent to mention here that he filed petition accusing the PTI of receiving funding from abroad on November 14, 2014. The foreign funding case against the ruling PTI took a new turn as Akbar S said that the party was misleading the scrutiny committee and asked the ECP to hear the case itself. Babar said the ECP should summon all the records in the case and then make a decision itself. In his petition, Babar said the scrutiny committee has held 42 sessions but no records have been presented yet. Sixteen directives have not been adhered to, he added. He asked the ECP to hear the case soon.
