ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Fawad Chaudhry on Wednesday stated that ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif should be placed on the Exit Control List (ECL).
Chaudhry stated this while addressing the media outside the Supreme Court, adding that Nawaz’s frequent travelling is delaying the court proceedings in the graft cases against him.
“The people of Pakistan need a logical conclusion of the case,” he asserted.
Citing the comments of recently arrested Pakistan Peoples Party leader Sharjeel Memon’s comments on his arrest that Nawaz’s son-in-law is given bail by a trial court but he isn’t, Chaudhry remarked that the public feels that the Sharif family is being granted a preferential treatment.

Talking to the media separately, Federal Privatisation Minister Daniyal Aziz stated that no deadline has been set for the conclusion of the disqualification case of PTI leaders Imran Khan and Jahangir Tareen.
“We were told that investigations have been completed but now the respondent is searching for evidence,” he claimed.
Later, State Interior Minister Talal Chaudhry said Tareen is a specialist in white-collar crimes.
“If he is not punished by the court for corruption and misdirection then no one in Pakistan should serve any criminal sentence,” he added.
