KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Tuesday has served notices to the chairman NAB, DG FIA, DG Passport, AGP and others in Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Nisar Khuhro’s plea seeking removal of his name from the Exit Control List (ECL).
Nisar Khuhro had moved a petition in the SHC seeking the removal of his name from the no-fly list.
The PPP leader stated in the petition that he wants to depart to meet his family in the United States (US) as his wife and children have contracted coronavirus.
The federal government placed his name on the basis of dishonesty and the ongoing inquiry of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) was an act of political vengeance, stated the petition.
