Sharif family members names removal from ECL: Federal government takes the decision

LAHORE - The PTI government has reportedly taken a principle decision over the issue of removal of Sharif family names from the ECL.

Sources revealed that PTI government is unlikely to entertain the request of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz to remove their names from the Exit Control List.

Mr Sharif and Ms Maryam had on Oct 3 filed an application with the interior ministry, requesting it to remove their names from the ECL, citing different legal points.

The ministry has not yet taken any decision in this regard. The government, however, hinted that it had no immediate plan to give the relief to the Sharifs.
