The selected PTI government (not courts) announced and placed my brother on the exit control list yesterday (Dec 27th 2018). My father & aunt are also on the ECL. All three are elected representatives. These intimidation tactics will not work.

Nafisa Shah also reacted by twitting

How can a Chief Minister's name be ECL? What if he has to visit a country on his official work? By this standard Prime Minister Imran Khan should be on #ECL too as he is under inquiry in #NAB. This is not a Government, it is a mob that is demolishing the system. #ECLlist
