Imran Khan govt says no to Maryam Nawaz’s request to travel abroad

The Pakistan government has denied authorisation to PML-N VP Maryam Nawaz to travel abroad, saying those associated with any financial wrongdoing and institutional misrepresentation couldn't be permitted to leave the nation, as indicated by a media report on Monday.

Maryam, the 46-year-old little girl of Pakistan's previous Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, was put on the restricted travel backlog in August 2018 out of a supposed defilement case.

"The principles concerning situation of the name of people on Exit Control List (ECL) don't enable the legislature to engage her application to expel her name from the restricted travel backlog," Babar Awan, senior legal counsellor and helper to the head administrator on legitimate issues, was cited as saying by the Dawn News. Headed by Law Minister Farogh Naseem, the subcommittee of the government bureau that manages ECL cases dismissed Maryam's supplication, as she had looked for the office for travelling to London to care for her sickly father, Awan said.

Sharif, the PML-N supremo, had left for London on November 19 of every an air rescue vehicle to look for medicinal treatment in London, a month after the three-time chief was discharged on bail from a seven-year jail sentence for debasement.

Alluding to the ECL rules, Awan said regardless of whether an individual has substantial travel report to continue to any goal outside Pakistan, the legislature could prevent them from leaving the nation for being associated with pollution and misfortune to government reserves.

Maryam would not be permitted to continue abroad as those associated with any financial wrongdoing, misappropriation of vast government reserves and institutional extortion couldn't get consent to leave the nation, he said.

Prior, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Information Firdous Ashiq Awan after the December 18 gathering of the decision Pakistan Tehreek-I-Insaf's centre advisory group had likewise said that the administration would not acknowledge Maryam's solicitation.

In the meantime, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in an announcement gave on Sunday stated, the administration's choice to banish Maryam from voyaging abroad didn't amaze anybody, taking into account that the PTI system had consistently been frantically searching for chances to deceive and mistreat the PML-N initiative.

"The choice of the sub-advisory group has no intelligent explanation behind keeping Maryam on the ECL," PML-N Information Secretary Marriyum Aurangzeb asserted.
