Maryam Nawaz said on Sunday that a warrant has been issued against the finance minister who worked day and night to pull the country out of economic crises and darkness.
Former prime minister’s daughter, in a tweet posted on Sunday, expressed anger over National Accountability Bureau’s decision to issue red notice against Senator Ishaq Dar, who has served as the country’s finance minister, saying Dar was also the one who took the country’s stock market to new heights.
جس وزیرخزانہ نے دن رات محنت کرکے ملک کو معاشی بحران سے نکالا، زرمبادلہ کے ذخائر، سٹاک اکسچینج کو بلند سطح پر پہنچا دیاان کے وارنٹ ایشو ھوگئے

Dar has been held accountable, despite his initiatives for the country, she said, adding no one has dared to issue a red warrant against General (retd) Pervez Musharraf, whom the entire nation considers their enemy. According to Maryam, it should be Musharraf who should be brought back through Interpol.
پاکستان اور تاریخ کے مجرم کے ریڈ وارنٹ ایشو کرو تو پھر قانون کی سربلندی اور قانون کی رکھوالی کی بات پر عوام یقین کرینگے ۔

She added the country will believe in the supremacy of law if a red warrant is issued against the former dictator of Pakistan.
اگر کسی کو انٹر پول کے ذریعے بلانا ھے تو اس ڈکٹیٹر مشرف کو بلاو جس کو پوری قوم اپنا مجرم سمجھتی ھے ۔

لیکن آئین اور قانون توڑنے والے اور ملک کو ہر قسم کے اندھیرے دینے والے مشرف کے ریڈ وارنٹ جاری کرنے کی ہمت کسی عدالت کو نہ ہوئ ۔

It is pertinent to mention here that on December 14, NAB decided to issue a red notice for Dar, according to a notification issued by the accountability department.
NAB Chairperson Javed Iqbal, in an executive board meeting headed by him, decided to bring Dar back to Pakistan with the help of the Interpol.
The PML-N leader is currently receiving medical treatment in London.
“He [Dar] is suffering from no such ailment that cannot be treated in Pakistan,” the NAB notification states.
Dar is accused of possessing assets disproportionate to his declared sources of income.
A reference against the former finance minister was filed by the NAB in light of the Supreme Court’s July 28 verdict in the Panama Papers case.
Dar had been earlier declared a proclaimed offender by the accountability court due to his continuous absence from the proceedings.
On November 23, Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi accepted Dar’s request to be relieved of his duties as the finance minister. He was relieved of his three roles, including his portfolio in the finance ministry, and was informed of the decision.
