On Saturday, Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) vice-president Maryam Nawaz moved the Lahore High Court to remove her name from the exit control list (ECL), which prohibits foreign travel. The petition has been filed through advocate Amjad Parvez. The petition named the federal government, the chairman of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), the director-general of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), the director-general of passports and immigration, and others as respondents.
In her statement, Maryam said in the petition, "I returned to Pakistan with my father (former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif) despite being sentenced in the context of Al-Azizia. He said that his name was not heard during the hearing in this case. The ECL was placed in it." Maryam said that the memorandum issued on August 20, 2018, was invalid. I am appearing in the courts on a regular basis, so permission should be allowed to travel abroad till the final decision is taken on my petition.
