ISLAMABAD: The federal cabinet has decided against removing the name of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz from the Exit Control List (ECL).
The federal cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Imran Khan accepted the cabinet committee’s recommendation to not allow Maryam Nawaz to go abroad. The cabinet would have no objection if Maryam wants to approach another forum.
On 7th December, Maryam Nawaz filed a petition in which she requested the court to direct the federal government to remove her name from no-fly list to enable her to travel abroad where her father and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif is seeking medical treatment.
