Following the orders of the Lahore High Court, the Interior Ministry on Friday removed Leader of Opposition in the Punjab Assembly Hamza Shehbaz’s name from the blacklist.
Hamza had filed a petition in the court while making the Interior Ministry, passport immigration authorities and NAB parties to the case.
The applicant pleaded with the court to order the Interior Ministry for removal of his name from the no-fly list.
The application further stated that the applicant came to know that his name was put on the blacklist when he was prevented from boarding a flight in November while he was being interrogated by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) over ‘possession of assets beyond known sources of income’ and the Ramzan Sugar Mills case.
The application said that Hamza Shehbaz had been appearing in the investigation and coordinating with the NAB officials in the cases.
