Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan here on Friday said that the government will not do politics on health of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

Talking to journalists, Dr Firdous confirmed, "The former prime minister has approached the Ministry of Interior Friday seeking removal of his name from the Exit Control List (ECL)." She said that the government has sought opinions from the medical board and National Accountability Bureau regarding the removal of Nawaz's name from ECL.

The special assistant maintained that the government will fulfill all the legal requirements in this regard. She said that Islamabad High Court had granted bail on medical grounds to Nawaz Sharif in Chaudhry Sugar Mills case.

Earlier in the day, Nawaz Sharif's name was likely to be removed from the Exit Control List (ECL) upon a prior request citing health concerns. However, a final decision on the matter will be undertaken by the Ministry of Interior within the next 48 to 72 hours. The Sharif family has tendered a request to the Interior Ministry, requesting Nawaz Sharif's name to be removed from the ECL.
