Today, the PTI founder and Shah Mahmood Qureshi will present their appeals against their convictions in the cipher case before the Islamabad High Court (IHC).

The hearing will be conducted by a two-member bench led by Chief Justice Aamir Farooq of the Islamabad High Court.

It may be remembered that the advocate general was contacted by the court to provide input on the nomination of government attorneys.

However, today will also see the hearing of the PTI founder’s and his wife Bushra Bibi’s appeal against the sentences in the Toshakhana case.

Senior Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawyer Babar Awan responded to Donald Lu’s remarks made during a congressional hearing in the US by saying that Lu’s remarks cleared the former prime minister and PTI founder. According to Awan, Lu acknowledged yesterday that the PTI founder did not plot and that the cipher was a hoax.

Speaking to the media on the grounds of the Islamabad High Court (IHC), senior attorney Babar Awan stated that Lu had stated there was no cipher.The cipher case was rendered invalid if Lu turned out to be untrue, and the case became worthless if he was truthful. He said that yesterday’s evidence supported the PTI founder’s position on cipher. Lu said that the cipher was a hoax and that he didn’t plot.

According to Awan, the current administration came to power by stealing the consent of the people. “First, they (the Pakistani leadership) salute Donald Lu. Awan questioned whether US pressure on the Pakistan-Iran gas pipeline did not amount to meddling in Pakistan’s domestic affairs.

It is worth noting that Donald Lu, the Assistant Secretary of State for South Asia, voiced worry yesterday on the claims of US meddling in Pakistan’s election process.
