(Karachi) Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz has said that she will not file a request to the government to remove her name from the Exit Control List (ECL), local media reported.

Speaking to media persons before leaving for Wazirabad on Monday, Maryam said she had filed a petition in the Lahore High Court(LHC) last year to have her name removed from the no-fly list but the plea got delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The PML-N vice-president said she needs to undergo a surgery that can’t be performed in Pakistan. “I have decided that I won’t request this government anymore to remove my name from the ECL.” she maintained.

She said those dreaming of rifts among the ranks of the 11-party alliance, Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), will face the same fate and added she wants the alliance to stay intact even after the government is sent packing.

She claimed that Prime Minister Imran Khan has given tickets to billionaires for the Senate election.

She mentioned that Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Yousaf Raza Gillani is a joint candidate of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) for Senate elections.
