PTI leaders react

The PTI leaders strongly reacted over the government's decision to remove names of more than 100 personalities from ECL. 

Former Federal Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry sarcastically said congratulations to the nation as new era of justice that had come in Pakistan would also forget the history of Muhammad Shah Rangeela.

Shahbaz Gul said in his tweet that name of the Prime Minister had been removed from the exit control list. "Those who should have been in jail are in the chair of the Prime Minister."
