The Pakistan government led by Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday added the name of Opposition leader Shehbaz Sharif, who has been charged with corruption, to the no-fly list, barring him from leaving the country for medical treatment.&nbsp;

Earlier this month, the Lahore High Court granted Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shehbaz, also the younger brother of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, permission to travel abroad once for medical treatment.&nbsp;

After obtaining bail, Shehbaz, 69, was about to fly to London on May 8 when an Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) team at the airport stopped him from travelling on the grounds that his name had been on the provisional national identification list (PNIL), which impose a temporary bar on someone to leave the country.&nbsp;

Shehbaz was offloaded from Doha-bound flight on May 8.&nbsp;

Addressing a press conference on Monday, Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said Shehbaz's name was added to the exit control list (ECL) after approval from the federal Cabinet.&nbsp;

A special committee of the Interior Ministry on May 12 had proposed to the Cabinet that Shehbaz should be barred from leaving the country due to corruption cases against him.&nbsp;

Shehbaz wanted to go to London for a medical checkup after he was bailed out of jail last month.&nbsp;

The interior minister said Shehbaz had not submitted any medical documents for travelling abroad or specified the treatment for his illness.&nbsp;

Last week, Shehbaz had challenged the placement of his name on a travel blacklist and sought one-time permission to go abroad for medical treatment.&nbsp;

"I have been a cancer patient and got treated in New York and London. I could not get treatment for more than seven months as I was in jail," the top PML-N leader said, adding in light of the medical test report conducted in jail, there was a need for immediate treatment. &nbsp;

Interior minister Ahmed said Shehbaz "was the guarantor for his brother Nawaz. But instead of bringing him back, he was trying to flee".&nbsp;

"If Nawaz Sharif did not return then why should Shehbaz return? This is a matter of common sense," he said in reply to a question.&nbsp;

Sharif has been in London since November 2019 on 'medical grounds'.&nbsp;

The Imran Khan government has declared Sharif an absconder and cancelled his passport. Sharif left the country after the court granted him bail in the Al-Azizia Mills corruption case in which he was undergoing seven years imprisonment in Kot Lakhpat jail Lahore.&nbsp;

He was also granted four-week bail on medical grounds to have his treatment abroad. The government declared him an absconder after he failed to justify prolonging his stay in London.&nbsp;

Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry also said that Shehbaz's name has been added to the no-fly list after approval from the Cabinet and completion of legal formalities. "The relevant record has been updated in this regard," he tweeted.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, criticising the government's move, PML-N leader Azam Nazir Tarar said the party will file a case of contempt of court.&nbsp;

"The government refused to let him (Shehbaz) go abroad despite orders by the Lahore High Court," Tarar said.&nbsp;

Several PML-N leaders have been facing corruption cases, which they claim, are politically motivated.&nbsp;

On April 23, 2021, Shehbaz walked free from Lahore's Kot Lakhpat jail after about eight months behind bars in the money laundering and assets beyond means reference filed by the country's anti-graft body. &nbsp;

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had alleged that Shehbaz's family had assets of around PKR 16.5 million till 1990, which increased to over PKR 7 billion in 2018 which were disproportionate to his known sources of income.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Pakistan Opposition leader Shehbaz Sharif placed on no-fly list 

In one of its first case, a 30-year-old Mumbai jeweller Birju Kishore Salla has become the first man to be put on a 'national no-fly list'.

The jeweller who usually travels in business class is said to be a repeat defaulter in airlines.&nbsp;

He was detained on October 30, 2017, for allegedly planting a note in the toilet of Mumbai-Delhi Jet Airways flight forcing the plane to make an emergency landing in Ahmedabad.&nbsp;

Following this, the airline has banned him from boarding their plane for five years.

A media report quoted a senior official of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) saying that this was the first case where an Indian plane had put someone on the no-fly list.

He added that the step was taken by Jet Airways after following due procedure.&nbsp;

He also said that it was the responsibility of the airline to inform other planes.

A media report stated that Salla had earlier carried a cockroach in a plane and blamed the airline.

Mumbai man becomes first to be put on 'no-fly list'

The Centre on Friday will announce a draft rule for a &#39;no-fly list&#39; for unruly passengers in the aftermath of the debacle surrounding Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad, who assaulted an Air India staffer onboard a plane.

The Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR) are being amended by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to facilitate such a list, the ministry of civil aviation said in a letter to Air India CMD, making an appeal to him to lift the ban on Gaikwad.

The no-fly list has been amended by Air India from the day Gaikwad hit 62-year-old R Sukumar with his slipper.

The following day, the Federation of Indian Airlines, which has Jet Airways, SpiceJet, IndiGo and GoAir as its members, made the announcement.

The draft will be made public by aviation minister Ashok G Raju and his deputy Jayant Sinha. For effective implementation, the Centre is likely to make some identification mandatory - either Aadhaar or passport number - while booking even domestic tickets.

The draft will give about a month for the public to comment. The aviation ministry will then take some time to study them and come out with the final CAR.

As per the IATA, in 2015, there were 10,854 reported cases of unruly behaviour by the passengers across airlines worldwide, which translate into one incident for every 1,205 flights.
