PPP refutes Fawad’s allegations; Party has no hidden accounts: Mandviwalla

KARACHI: Pakistan People Party (PPP) leader refuting the allegations of PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry against PPP has said his party does not believe in hiding any details and altering records.
Deputy Chairman Senate Saleem Mandviwalla clarified that PPP has no hidden accounts, donors, or audit details like PTI. If you want to see the facts related to the accounts of the PPP, you can see the facts on the website of the Election Commission, he maintained.
He said that Asif Ali Zardari is the President of Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarian (PPP-P) and all members of parliament are also related to PPP-P while Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is the Chairman of Pakistan People’s Party. All funds are taken in the name of the PPP-P and no money was ever transferred from the accounts of PPPP to PPP-P.
Mandviwalla claimed that PPP had submitted the detail of the accounts of PPP duly signed by its Secretary General before the Election Commission and the same was declared correct by the commission. Under Section 210 of the Elections Act 2017, the Secretary General of the party has the power to submit the particulars with his signature, he hinted. He further said that Fawad Chaudhry’s claim of opening an account with Rs41,472,7779 by PPP-P in 2011 is not true.
PPP-P had opened an account with an amount of Rs. 365,865,372 in 2011. He said details of accounts and audit reports of PPP-P and PPP are submitted to the Election Commission every year and Fawad Chaudhry should read Election Commission Rules.
Fawad Chaudhry has tried to mislead people by mixing accounts and audit details of PPP. The audit report is a public document, PTI should not mislead the public like this, he added. NNI
