Asad Qaiser urges Supreme Court to make judicial commission on cipher issue

ISLAMABAD, Mar 4 (SABAH): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-backed Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) leader Asad Qaiser demanded formation of a judicial commission to investigate the cipher issue. He urged the Supreme Court to make judicial commission on cipher issue.

Speaking on the floor of the National Assembly on Monday, the former speaker said: “A Grade 19 officer would call our ambassador and give him dictation. This is questionable”.

Asad Qaisar stressed that the PTI had a clear stance on the cipher case, adding that the former prime minister was sentenced based on the cipher. “If cipher did not exist, then how the PTI founder was sentenced in the case,” Asad Qaiser asked.

The SIC member demanded the lifting of the ‘ban’ on PTI by the media regulatory authority, withdrawal of cases against party members, and investigation into the alleged electoral rigging.

Asad Qaiser also emphasized the party’s commitment to upholding constitutional rights and seeking justice within the limits of the law. He asserted that if the PTI did not get its rights, no one would be able to govern. He vowed to continue the struggle for justice through constitutional means and under the rule of law.

Asad Qaiser also criticized the opponents, questioning the legitimacy of their electoral victories and calling for a thorough investigation into alleged rigging. The former NA speaker also condemned the recent raid on the house of Mehmood Khan Achakzai.
