The federal government on Saturday put scores of important Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders on the Exit Control List (ECL).
The formal approval was given for placing the names of 139 PTI leaders on the No-Fly list.
The decision has been taken in the backdrop of the May 9 riots to put the key leaders of PTI on the ECL. The Federal Ministry of Interior has included 139 names of PTI leaders in the list.
PTI’s Founding Chairman, Imran Khan, Vice-Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi, former opposition leader Umar Ayub, Fawad Chaudhry, and former leader of the opposition in the Senate, Shibli Faraz, are among those whose names have been placed on the ECL.
Besides that, former KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, Shahyar Afridi, and Usman Dar have also been put on the No-fly list.
Several PTI women leaders have also been put on the ECL, including Shireen Mazari, Zartaj Gul, Musarat Cheema, and Kanwal Shauzab.
Moreover, the main ally of the PTI, Awami Muslim League (AML) Chief Sheikh Rasheed, and his nephew Rashid Shafiq have also been placed on the ECL, along with Tahir Sadiq.
