Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on Thursday said his name was “fitted” in the report presented by a joint investigation team (JIT) probing a case pertaining to laundering of billions of rupees through fictitious bank accounts in the country.
He was speaking to a private television channel. When asked if his named was also under consideration for placement in the Exit Control List (ECL), he said: “I am myself unaware of the fact whether my name is on the ECL or not, since I have not received any court notice.”
“They can add my name to the ECL if they want, why are they pondering over it.”
He said Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had termed the report an “outright lie.”
The chief minister maintained it appeared as if his name was “fitted” in the report as an afterthought.
