Pakistani authorities arrest two key opposition leaders in connection with an investigation into a diplomatic cipher.

Wajahat Kazmi, a Karachi-based journalist and commentator, says there are several options available to Khan's legal team to overturn the sentence against him.

Several people have been wounded as Pakistani police and supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan fought pitched battles outside the former prime minister's home in the eastern city of Lahore.

Former Pakistan premier Imran Khan, who survived an assassination attempt on his life on Thursday, is stable and determined to continue his political march to press the government to call for an early election, his party said on Friday.

The incident occurred in Punjab province’s Wazirabad.

The accusation came after Pakistan's electronic media regulator late on Saturday announced a ban on the live airing of Khan's speeches because of what it called his "hate speech" against state institutions.

The Election Commission of Pakistan has ruled that the party of former Prime Minister Imran Khan has received funds from prohibited sources, including foreign nationals and foreign companies.
