MULTAN: Former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gillani, despite being on the Exit Control List, left for Cambodia to attend an international summit on Monday night, family sources confirmed.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen exclusively invited Gillani to deliver his lecture at the Asia Pacific Cambodia Conference 2019. The interior ministry had earlier put Gillani on the ECL in the TDAP scam.
Family sources say Gillani, along with his son MPA Ali Haider Gillani, left for Cambodia to attend the conference, with permission from the interior ministry. However, his name would remain on the ECL.
The ministry has taken the stance that Gillani is allowed to travel abroad for one time only. The former prime minister has been allowed to travel abroad for 15 days.
