Shireen Jokhio said that he did not pardon the killers for money, adding that she left the matters to Allah’s will as justice could not be served in the country.
ECL, PNIL inclusion
In line with the cabinet’s decision, the interior ministry had placed the names of all the accused and co-accused including PPP MNA Jam Abdul Karim on the Exit Control List (ECL).
The FIA had also put the name of PPP MNA Jam Abdul Karim on its Provincial National Identification List (PNIL) which will bar him from leaving the country following the directives of Sindh Governor Imran Ismail.

The 27-year-old Nazim Jokhio was found tortured to death at a farmhouse owned by the PPP MPA while the family nominated Jam Awais, his brother PPP MNA Jam Abdul Karim and their henchmen in the murder case.
The horrible incident had taken place after Nazim Jokhio resisted the hunting of houbara bustard by PPP lawmakers’ Arab guests in Achar Salaar village on the outskirts of Karachi’s Malir district.
