He informed the House that three parliamentarians – Bilawal Bhutto, Ali Wazir and Mohsin Dawar – were removed from the Exit Control List.
The minister, however, told the NA that names of Bilawal Bhutto and Asif Zardari were put on ECL on request of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). While Dawar and Wazir were added to the ECL for provocative and hate speeches.
It was reported on April 5 that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had recommended inclusion of more names on the Exit Control List in connection with ongoing probe into different cases.
Sources informed that a letter had been dispatched to the Interior Ministry by the anti-corruption watchdog to include former finance minister Miftah Ismail on ECL following ongoing investigation in LNG case.
