Summary prepared to give Shahid Khaqan Abbasi one-time permission to fly abroad
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - The Interior Ministry has prepared the summary allowing former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi to go abroad for one time only.
According to sources, the federal cabinet will most probably approve the summary. Shahid Khaqan Abbasi wants to go abroad to visit his ailing sister but his name is currently included in the country’s Exit Control List (ECL) on the recommendation of NAB.
Previously, Accountability Court indicted Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and former finance minister Miftah Ismail in LNG case. The court indicted the accused and handed over the charge sheet; however, former Prime Minister Abbasi pleaded not guilty.
It is pertinent to mention here that National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had filed a reference against nine suspects – including former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi – in the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import contract case in an Islamabad’s accountability court.
Shahid Khaqan Abbasi is on bail granted by Islamabad High Court against surety bonds of Rs10 million.
