Former Prime Minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan on Wednesday came hard at Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja by calling him \u2018biased\u2019 and PML-N\u2019s \u2018family man\u2019.
\n\u201cHad the foreign funding cases of all parties were heard simultaneously, PTI would be the only party with transparent political fund raising. All other parties are run through illegal funding, I can claim in writing,\u201d Imran told reporters outside the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday.
\nThe PTI Chief had appeared before court to seek protective bail in a case registered by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) against him and other party leaders for allegedly submitting false affidavits to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in connection with a prohibited funding case.
\nExpressing concerns over CEC\u2019s alleged \u2018biasness\u2019, Imran said the head of electoral watchdog was unable to prosecute other parties\u2019 funding cases. \u201cThe Lahore High Court (LHC) has ordered [the ECP] to hear foreign funding cases [of all parties] simultaneously, but he [CEC] is not doing so, because he is their [PML-N and PPP\u2019s] family man,\u201d he said.
\nWhen asked by a journalist about chances of court rejecting his bails, the PTI Chairman said he was prepared for jail too.
\nReplying to a question regarding the \u2018audio-leaks\u2019 scam, former Prime Minister said he was aware of surveillance but leaking audio calls was a big crime. \u201cTelephone calls [of prime ministers] are being leaked, which could be a national security risk,\u201d he maintained.
\nEarlier, strict security measures were taken by the security institutions as Imran entered the High Court. Heavy contingents of Rangers and Police were deployed inside and outside the IHC, while the Court room Number 1 was thoroughly checked by Bomb Disposal Squads (BDS) before Imran\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
