PM Abbasi plans to send Ishaq Dar on holiday
The development was unearthed by Dunya News president Kamran Khan in his program.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News/ Daily Dunya) – Prime Minister (PM) of Pakistan Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has apparently solved the enigma of Finance Minister Ishaq Dar’s resignation and decided to send him on a holiday.
The development was unearthed by Dunya News president Kamran Khan in his program Dunya Kamran Khan Kay Sath. He told that the announcement of this decision is likely to be made within 48 hours.
According to details, the ministry will be given to a close friend of PM Abbasi following Dar’s elimination. After the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) cases, Ishaq Dar is being criticized continuously for holding his office both by political as well as journalist fraternities.
Noted economist Dr Ashfaq Hassan remarked that the indecisive state of government over Ishaq Dar’s case is ridiculous. It was earlier rumored that Ishaq Dar had decided to resign owing to bad health, but PM’s spokesman Musadik Malik confirmed that Dar will continue to keep the ministry.

Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Shehbaz Sharif also made a request of same nature to the finance minister as he thought Pakistan needs more energetic and skillful team.
