Foreign funding case is not a threat to PTI but to IK. The foreign fund that cannot be traced back, will required to be deposited with ECP which PTI will do easily.
Now how it is damaging to IK??
in 2017-18 case of IK vs Hanif Abbasi where IK was declared 'Sadiq or Ameen'. Hanif abbasi pleaded that IK should be disqualifed on the following grounds:
1) He has not declared his flat in returns of 1996 /1997 elections
2) He has not declared advance for flat in returns
3) he has made false declaration while submitted accounts with ECP that all foreign funding accounts have been declared and accounted for to ECP
SCP in its judgement declared IK 'Sadiq or Ameen in 1 and 2 but for 3 it referred the matter back to ECP to decide the foreign funding first and then the matter will be referred back to SCP.
So, once ECP decides the matter, PMLN (which i think they will do) may refer back to SCP and will disqualify IK for life like Nawaz Sharif on the basis of that declaration signed by IK.
