ISLAMABAD: PML-N leader Ishaq Dar on Tuesday took oath as member of the Senate.
Chairman Senate Sadiq Sanjrani administered him the oath amid protest by the opposition lawmakers led by the PTI. The Senate session began with the recitation of the Holy Quran after which Ishaq Dar was sworn in. During the oath taking, PTI senators gathered near the rostrum and chanted slogans such as “absconder”.
Before the oath taking, Ishaq Dar met Sadiq Sanjrani in the chairman’s chamber. He was accompanied by the Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar and Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah. Ishaq Dar landed at the Nur Khan Airbase in Rawalpindi on Monday night, after six years in self-exile, alongside Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to take charge of the finance portfolio, which he has previously held on three occasions.
