ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s close friend Zulfi Bukhari’s name has been removed from the Exit Control List (ECL), according to media reports on Monday.
It was reported that the Interior Ministry ordered the immigration authorities to remove Bukhari’s name from the ECL after he was stopped from boarding a flight to Saudi Arabia for Umrah along with party chairman.
Earlier today, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officials told the media that the London-based businessman was set to fly to Saudi Arabia from Rawalpindi via a charter flight along with the PTI chief and his wife, Bushra Maneka.
The charter flight was ready to take off from Nur Khan airbase.
“Bukhari was stopped from boarding the flight as his name is placed on the Exit Control List,” the officials reported.
PTI spokesman Fawad Chaudhry also claimed that Zulfi Bukhari has already left for Saudi Arabia.
According to further reports, Imran Khan and Bushra Maneka were to depart for Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah. They are expected to return back to Pakistan before Eid.
