PESHAWAR: Seeking the removal of his name from the Exit Control List (ECL) so that he could travel abroad for treatment, Dr Said Alam Mahsud on Thursday said the Minister of State for Interior Shehryar Afridi would be held responsible if his health condition deteriorated and anything happened to him.
Speaking at a news conference, he said he was unable to travel abroad for treatment as his name was placed on the ECL. “It is my right to seek treatment but the interior minister is preventing me to do so by placing my name on the no-fly list,” he said.
