PTI has opposed the Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) investigation into a case involving illegal fundraising at Islamabad High Court (IHC).
In its court filing, PTI claims that the investigation into the finances is unlawful and that party leaders are being persecuted for political purposes.
The party has asked the court to stop government agents from conducting searches and detaining PTI leaders.
It is important to note that, following the publication of the ECP’s findings, the FIA opened an investigation into the PTI’s illegal funding.
In connection with the investigation, the investigating agency has called a number of prominent PTI figures, including former National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser.
