In the meeting, the Federal Cabinet decided that the name of Nawaz Sharif will be removed from the ECL upon the submission of surety bonds in the form of cash or property by his family.

The meeting was attended by the Prime Minister’s Special Assistant on Accountability Shahzad Akbar, the Interior Secretary, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Officials, Nawaz Sharif’s personal physician Dr Adnan Khan and Attaullah Tarar.

The Secretary Health and the Head of Medical Board briefed the Sub-Committee on the health of the former prime minister.
