The NAB has sent a request for Mashood’s name to be put on the Exit Control List.Speaking to the Geo News, Mashhood said he was being targeted for political revenge. “I was stopped at the airport for four hours without any reason. I was travelling to the US and was told my name was on the blacklist," he said.The PML-N leader said that after two hours, he got in contact with a NAB official and asked him why he was stopped. "After the flight departed I was told I could leave and there were no charges against me,” Mashhood added.
