The court instructed the Assistant Attorney General to remove Zartaj Gul’s name from the ECL and submit a compliance report within a week.
ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court has ordered the removal of Sunni Ittehad Council parliamentary leader Zartaj Gul from the Exit Control List (ECL).
During a hearing presided over by Justice Tariq Mahmood Jahangiri, the Assistant Attorney General presented the FIR records related to Zartaj Gul. Justice Jahangiri noted that Gul’s name appeared in two FIRs, questioning the necessity of placing political leaders on the ECL while ignoring terrorists.
Justice Jahangiri remarked, “Assembly members are being brought to court for rallies, yet their names are added to the ECL without substantial charges. I have not seen any cases of gangs or terrorists.”
Lawyer Osama Tariq Advocate confirmed that Gul is on bail in both cases mentioned in the FIRs. Justice Jahangiri observed that the charges were minor and bailable, deeming the inclusion in the ECL unnecessary.
