Pakistan Tehreek-e-insaf (PTI) chairman has on Friday thanked the government for putting his name on the Exit Control List (ECL) after his name was added to a no-fly list on Thursday night.

“I want to thank the government for putting my name on the ECL as I have no plans to travel abroad, because I neither have any properties or businesses abroad nor even a bank account outside the country. If and when I do get an opportunity for a holiday, it will be in our northern mountains, my favourite place on earth.”

The names of PTI leaders were added to the list on the advice of the relevant government departments.
