Description:
Spokesperson of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Marriyum Aurangzeb on Monday said ex-prime minister Imran Khan wanted a reference against the chief election commissioner (CEC) as the former was about to face a sentence in the foreign funding case.
Addressing a presser, the PML-N leader accused Imran of lying to the nation for the past four years.
She said that the man sitting on the prime minister's chair was lying so no one could question his performance.
"Imran Khan wants a reference against the CEC so that the foreign funding case doesn't get decided within a month," she said. "But they can't do anything now as the cases are set to be decided within the next 30 days."
She went on to add that Imran's "theft" had been exposed as the 16 accounts that he hid had now come to the fore.
According to her, illegal funding has been proven and the evidence is now available, and the former premier will be facing sentencing now.

"An amount of $7 million pertaining to the foreign funding wasn't declared." She noted that PTI leader Asad Umar had filed a petition against the documents to be made public.
She asked whether Imran Khan's next narrative will be that the CEC had hatched a conspiracy against him.
Concluding, Aurangzeb said the foreign funding case contained documented evidence of Imran's "crimes" and asked the latter to cease his campaign against state institutions. "An amount of over Rs20 million was transferred to personal accounts."
Last week, Islamabad High Court ordered the Election Commission to decide the PTI foreign funding case within a month.
On January 4 this year, an ECP scrutiny committee report had unearthed that the party had concealed several accounts and around Rs310 million between 2008 and 2013 from the electoral body.
It had further disclosed that the PTI received $44,000 from 88 foreign donors during this period. The undisclosed accounts have been mentioned in a report by the State Bank of Pakistan. The scrutiny committee had also included its analysis of the bank accounts in the report.
