Islamabad, Nov. 16 (TNS): Finance Minister Ishaq Dar termed National Accountability Bureau’s plea to reopen the Hudaibiya Paper Mills case as illogical and against the law.
In a statement issued on Thursday, he maintained that Lahore High Court had given the decision in his favour and even the Supreme Court had not ordered the concerned authorities to start the investigation anew.
Earlier in the day, NAB recommended on Thursday placement of federal finance minister Ishaq Dar’s name on the Exit Control List (ECL).
“NAB has recommended to the Ministry of Interior to place Dar’s name on ECL,” said a senior NAB official. “A letter has been sent to MoI.”
The development came in the backdrop of an accountability court issuing non-bailable arrest warrants of Dar on Tuesday over his failure to appear in three weeks of court hearings.
