Govt to challenge LHC order in SC to remove Shehbaz's name from blacklist
ISLAMABAD (92 News) – The federal government on Sunday has decided to challenge the Lahore High Court’s (LHC) order of excluding the name of PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif from the blacklist in the Supreme Court (SC).
According to details, the federal government has prepared a draft of a petition to be filed before the SC to challenge the LHC decision allowing Shehbaz Sharif to travel abroad.
On May 7, the Lahore High Court (LHC) allowed Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif to go abroad once for medical check-up.
Earlier, Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed has said that the name of Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif has not been added to the Exit Control List (ECL).
In a video message on Saturday, he said that a summary regarding inclusion of Shehbaz Sharif's name in the ECL had been sent to the cabinet, which is likely to be received by the Interior Ministry on Monday or Tuesday.
He said that 14 accused involved in the case are already on the ECL. "Five members of the Sharif family are already on the ECL. Shehbaz Sharif is the guarantor of Nawaz Sharif," he added.
The minister said that the Pak Army, the NCOC and the police had shown responsibility and implemented the SOPs. "The coronavirus cases have started decreasing in the country. I salute all institutions of the country," he maintained.
