New Delhi, December 14, 2014 : .Husain Haqqani (former Pakistani envoy to Sri Lanka, USA) denied Tuesday that the US had raised funds for the Pakistan Peoples Party.
He said that he was the ambassador of Pakistan and not a politician. Fawad Chaudhry, Pakistan’s Information Minister claimed that Fawad Chaudhry raised money for Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), while serving as an ambassador to the USA.
According to the report, Husain Haqqani was the former ambassador of Pakistan to the US.He claimed that PPP had established a US company that received millions of dollars from the US without disclosing their source.
The claim is not new, and it is being made 10 years late.Haqqani stated that although I am aware that PTI faces serious allegations regarding fundraising in foreign nations and that Fawad Chaudhry must address the matter, it does not excuse making false statements.
According to the report, the ex-envoy stated that records will prove that he did not attend any party or community fundraising events while serving as ambassador between 2008 and 2011.
“I was focused exclusively on US-Pakistan relations as an ambassador and the only Pakistani politician visiting the US for fundraising from the Pakistani community in that period is the current information minister’s present boss,” said Haqqani.
Fawad’s allegations came after he demanded that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) should audit the foreign sources of funding of all political parties and make them public, the report said.
He maintained that while the ECP’s scrutiny committee had audited the foreign funding sources of the PTI, it had not made any significant proceedings in the cases of the PML-N and PPP.
