Secret funds are not for destabilising democracy:
The Supreme Court on Friday said secret funds existed to be put to positive use and not utilised to destabilise democracy, directing the Intelligence Bureau's Director General to submit his written statement in a sealed envelope on April 23 about the use of Rs270 million, allegedly withdrawn by the PPP government from the IB's secret fund, to be used to topple the Punjab government.
White House senior adviser David Axelrod said secret donations to outside political groups are ``a threat to our democracy,'' singling out the US Chamber of Commerce for criticism less than a month before elections that will determine control of Congress.
