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.

The defense minister stated at a press conference in Islamabad that the Kingdom should not be involved in politics for selfish reasons because of our historical, religious, and economic ties with Saudi Arabia.

2.8 million Pakistanis work in Saudi Arabia and send millions of dollars in remittances, he added, adding that making unfounded accusations against the country will hurt Pakistan’s economy.

According to him, Saudi Arabia has always stood by Pakistan throughout its most trying moments, and Pakistanis have a deep affection and connection to the Kingdom.

There is a breach among PTI ranks and files, and Khawaja Asif stated that we have never witnessed such a low point in politics.

Given the gravity of the accusation, the Minister said, former Army Chief Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa should respond right away.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government should fight terrorism rather than target the city, he said, adding that the PTI’s demand for a demonstration on November 24 is the third strike on the federal capital.

The Federal Government arrested a number of Provincial Government officials who were ordered to participate in the violent protest in Islamabad by the PTI, and confiscated vehicles used by the KP Government against the state during the previous protest in October.

However, the Jinnah Supermarket Traders Union has petitioned the Islamabad High Court to halt the PTI demonstration in the capital and deem it unlawful.

In the petition, the head of the Traders Union has asked the court to rule that the PTI protest violates fundamental human rights by preventing companies from operating and removing the public’s ability to visit stores for necessities.

The petition asked the high court to protect the capital’s workers and PTI founder from unlawful protests.
