    PTI is a foreign-funded party: Attaullah Tarar

    Federal Minister for Broadcasting and Information Ataullah Tarar has said in a press conference that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) spokesperson Raouf Hassan’s conversation with an Indian journalist has revealed the party’s anti-state agenda.
    ‘’PTI is a foreign-funded party that compromises the country’s sovereignty and seeks help from its foreign masters,’’ Tarar stated

    He pointed out that, ‘’Cypher was a conspiracy which significantly undermined the integrity of our country’s foreign policy, posing a potential threat to national security.”

    While labelling PTI anti-state, the minister alleged that Raouf Hassan’s conversation with an anti-Pakistan Indian journalist was a true reflection of the party ideology.
    “Their clamor for a bloody revolution in the country proved that the PTI had received foreign funding from India for the purpose. This was also revealed by the investigation into the prohibited funding case.”

    Tarar also accused PTI of resettling terrorists in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK).
