On Tuesday, Ishaq Dar took the oath of office as a senator, despite objections from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MPs.
Dar took the oath of office from Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani after returning to Pakistan earlier in the day after spending almost five years on “medical leave” in the United Kingdom.
