ISLAMABAD (Sat 9, Feb 2019) – The Ministry of Interior today rejected former Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif, his daughter and son-in-law’s request seeking removal of their names from the Exit Control List (ECL).
In October last year, Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz and son-in-law Safdar had separately written letters to the interior ministry seeking removal of their names from the ECL which are all rejected, as per sources.
In the applications filed by them it was stated that Rule 2 of Exit From Pakistan Rules 2010 did not apply to them. The former PM, his daughter and son-in-law stated that they were not involved in corruption, misuse of authority, terrorism or any conspiracy and thus their names should be removed from ECL.
