The former finance minister said that he will take oath as Senator upon his arrival and the party will decide on his appointment as finance minister.
Dar was elected as a senator on a technocrat seat from Punjab in 2018. He could not take oath due to his stay in London. However, the SC suspended his membership over his failure to appear in court on May 8, 2018.
It is pertinent to mention here that the former finance minister left Pakistan four years back and is wanted in Pakistan in multiple cases.
