ISLAMABAD: A high-level meeting led by Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has taken a decision to place the name of Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri on the exit control list (ECL), a private news channel reported on Thursday.
During the meeting, cases pending against Dr Qadri were discussed. The meeting was attended by Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal, Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif and adviser to the prime minister on finance Miftah Ismail.
Qadri is nominated in several cases of terrorism related to the violence during the 2014 dharna (sit-in) in Islamabad.
The cases are ongoing in an anti-terrorism court in Islamabad where Qadri has been declared a proclaimed offender due to his continuous absence. Meanwhile, Ahsan Iqbal said people have buried negative dharna politics by boycotting public meeting of united opposition.
