Pervaiz Elahi moves LHC seeking removal of name from PCL

LAHORE: PTI President Chaudhary Pervaiz Elahi moved Lahore High Court (LHC) seeking removal of name from the Passport Control List (PCL), ARY News reported.

As per details, the plea was filed by Abuzar Salman Niazi on behalf of Elahi family and urged the court to remove Chaudhary Parvez Elahi, his son Rasikh Elahi and daughter-in-law Zara Elahi’s name from PCL.
