Firdous Ashiq Awan said that the government has demonstrated flexibility and out of box gave him the one time waiver to get the treatment abroad.
Dr Firdous said that according to the law, the names of the convicted persons are not removed from the Exit Control List (ECL). She said that the government has only sought guarantee in the form of indemnity bond which is a legal requirement. She said that PML-N should not make it a matter of its ego, submit the indemnity bond and take Nawaz Sharif abroad for the treatment.
