Absconder Ishaq Dar to become new finance minister of Pakistan in PMLN government
Shares
LAHORE: PML-N Senator Ishaq Dar is likely to rerun back to Pakistan immediately after the fall of the government and will take over as the finance minister of Pakistan in the new cabinet.
Ishaq Dar who lives in London in self-exile, has asked the Lahore High Court to direct the Senate chairman to allow him to take oath through a video link. He has approached the court through his special attorney Muhammad Yasin Baig.
The petition, filed through Advocate Salman Aslam Butt, contends that Dar was elected as a senator on a technocrat seat from Punjab in the election held on March 9, 2018. It says the election of Dar was challenged at various stages culminating in proceedings before the Supreme Court wherein his notification as the returned candidate was suspended.
