The authorities have initiated an inquiry against former presidential spokesperson and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Senator Farhatullah Babar, news reported.

According to reports, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has issued a questionnaire and directed him to respond within seven days. The FIA has requested complete information regarding Farhatullah Babar’s properties, bank accounts, and vehicles.

The FIA has instructed Farhatullah Babar to submit asset details of his wife and children and disclose any foreign funding received during his tenure as senator.

Sources reveal that Farhatullah Babar has not yet submitted his response. The Anti-Corruption Circle Islamabad sent him a questionnaire containing 18 to 20 questions related to the ongoing inquiry.

Earlier, the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) decided to contact Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), and Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) regarding the canal project on the Indus River.

According to details, to secure support for the resolution submitted in the National Assembly against the construction of canals, the PPP will reach out to various political parties and independent lawmakers.

The sources further say the PPP leadership has instructed its MNAs to actively engage in political efforts to ensure the passage of the resolution.

Party sources say they are working to table a joint resolution with PTI against the canals. The PPP welcomed PTI’s initiative to introduce an anti-canals resolution, calling it a positive development.

The PPP stated that, instead of political point-scoring, all parties need to stand with the people of Sindh on this critical issue. Additionally, the party urged the PML-N to include the controversial canals issue in its legislative agenda.
