Earlier, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-led government had decided to place 172 people including former president Asif Ali Zardari on the ECL.

Briefing media about the decisions taken by the cabinet meeting, Fawad Chaudhry said that the cabinet took this important initiative as some personalities involved in the fake accounts and money laundering case including Asif Ali Zardari were found saying that they are not taking JIT report seriously.

He said that the JIT, investigating the alleged money laundering cases under the instructions of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, had revealed that government resources were used to launder money abroad.

“We hope that Mr Zardari will consider this JIT seriously,” he said.
