PML-N has decided to approach Court for removal of Nawaz Sharif’s name from ECL . Deadlock between the government and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) persists over conditionalities for the removal of former premier Nawaz Sharif’s name from the Exit Control List (ECL).

PMLn will formulate its next course of action on political and legal fronts in a meeting today. PML-N’s legal team has been preparing an application to file in a court.




PML-N President and Leader of the Opposition Shehbaz Sharif will preside over an important meeting of the senior leadership of the party today (Thursday). After meeting PMLn leadership will also hold a press conference at 3pm.
