The minister said rich prisoners enjoying facilities in the jail, while poor facing hardships. “This time if the name is removed from the ECL then we will challenge it in the courts.”

The Lahore High Court’s (LHC) two-member bench headed by Justice Ali Baqar Najaf, on Monday (Dec 9) asked the government to make a final decision about removing the name of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz from the Exit Control List (ECL) within the next seven days.
