Meanwhile, a disgruntled leader of the the PTI has alleged that the party has been receiving funds from Jewish and Indian lobbies in the United States for furthering their agendas.
The allegation was levelled during a television programme by one of PTI's founding member Akbar S. Babar, who has submitted what he calls documentary evidence with the Election Commission of Pakistan. According to a report of the Jewish Funding Directory, foreigners, including American Barry C. Schneps and United States-born Indian Indur Dosanjh, had been funding the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf for lobbying in their favour and interests.
Babar, responding to the report, said an audit in 2011 had revealed illegal funding in the party but its report was not made public.
