PTI to challenge the verdict in the high court and Supreme Court, says Barrister Gohar
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Barrister Gohar on Tuesday urged the party workers to stay calm following the 10-year rigorous imprisonment handed down to the PTI founder in the cipher case.
The PTI founder and his close associate Shah Mehmood Qureshi were sentenced for 10-year rigorous imprisonment in the cipher case, as the special court established under the Official Secrets Act announced its verdict in the keenly-observed episode.
Speaking to media persons in the Islamabad High Court, Barrister Gohar asked the party workers not to take law into their hands and focus on Feb 8 polls.

“All the cases against us are being proceeded in violation of the law and constitution,” Gohar said.
He urged the party workers to be patient as they (the party) would challenge the verdict in the high court and Supreme Court.
“Attempts are being made to divert our attention from the Feb 8 polls. We’ll hold them responsible on the polling day,” he said.
