Speaking to media outside the court, Imran Khan accused Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja of hiding funding details of other parties to prevent the nation from distinguishing between “legal and illegal funding.”
“He is like their family member and a biased man,” Khan added.
A conviction in the prohibited funding case could lead to a ban on the PTI and Khan, who has been rallying his supporters to press his demand for a snap election.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has rejected the demand for fresh elections.
