Rejecting the stance that the government was doing politics over the health of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif, Shehzad Akbar said the government cannot remove the name of a convicted person from Exit Control List (ECL) as per law.”

“PML-N is doing politics over the health of Nawaz Sharif. Govt allowed one-time permission to Nawaz which was in the jurisdiction. Unfortunately, PML-N is politicizing the issue unnecessarily,” said Shahzad Akbar while talking to ARY News.

The Lahore High Court (LHC) had rejected a plea filed by the federal government and the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) yesterday which sought to dismiss a petition of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif for being “non-maintainable.”

The federal cabinet had given conditional approval to the former prime minister Nawaz Sharif to travel abroad seeking depositing an indemnity bond of Rs7 billion to secure removal of his name from the no-fly-list.
