Federal Cabinet's sub-committee will meet today to discuss an application filed by PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif seeking removal of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's name from the Exist Control List on humanitarian grounds.

Federal Law Minister Dr. Farogh Naseem will preside over the meeting.

The recommendations of the sub-committee meeting will also be presented at the federal cabinet meeting today.

The PML-N leader was scheduled to leave for London on Monday for treatment via Qatar Airways’s commercial flight QR-629 from Lahore, local media reported. PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif and Nawaz’s personal physician Dr Adnan were also scheduled to depart with him.

The Sharif family has already made all the arrangements at a London hospital for an advanced treatment of Nawaz’s multiple medical complications. Last week, the Islamabad High Court granted bail to Sharif for eight weeks and suspended his seven-year sentence in the Al-Azizia corruption reference on medical grounds.
