PTI leader Yousafzai’s name taken off ECL after court intervention

PESHAWAR: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shaukat Yousafzai’s name was removed from the Exit Control List (ECL) on Tuesday, following a letter sent to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) from the Interior Ministry.

According to the letter, Yousafzai’s name was removed from the list in compliance with an order from the Peshawar High Court (PHC).

It should be noted that the former minister’s name had been added to the ECL by the caretaker government after he was stopped from traveling to the United Kingdom (UK) and Saudi Arabia and was sent back from the airport.

The former minister had approached the PHC to seek the removal of his name from the ECL, leading to its subsequent removal.
