People prudent enough to opt for Pakistan's well-wishers: Marriyum.

ISLAMABAD -- Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb Monday said the nation had to decide whether they wanted to stand by those who were meticulously pursuing the agenda of development and prosperity, or to be misled by the propaganda of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan.

She expressed the optimism that the people were prudent enough to finally opt for the well-wishers of Pakistan.

An Indian citizen Romita Shetty was also among the PTI's financiers, Marriyum said.

The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) had already pinpointed all the details even during Imran Khan's tenure, she added.

She said PTI leader Asad Umar had also filed a petition in the Islamabad High Court that the foreign funding details should not be made public and the main petitioner in the case, Akbar S. Babar, should not be given access to the record. However, the court dismissed the plea and directed the Election Commission to...
