Shahid Khaqan Abbasi yet to be intimated on removal of his name from ECL National December 26, 2020 ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister and Secretary General of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) Shahid Khaqan Abbasi is yet to receive intimation from the administration about removal of his name from the Exit Control List (ECL) as he has to proceed to the United States to inquire after his sister and brother-in-law in Pennsylvania, who are critical after testing positive for COVID-19. Both are hospitalized as Shahid’s brother-in-law Jehanzaib is on ventilator while his sister Afshan Abbasi, who underwent a major surgery in 2017, has been removed for quarantine. Abbasi was then the prime minister, but he visited her in hospital and undertook journey from Islamabad to the United States privately and didn’t avail any protocol from his own government and the US administration. Senator Saadia Abbasi, another sister of Abbasi, is in the United States to look after her sister and brother-in-law.
