Pakistan's Supreme Court today suspended the Senate membership of former finance minister Ishaq Dar after he failed to appear before it in connection with a petition contesting his election to the Upper House.
The court had summoned Dar, 67, who has been in London since October 2017 and was declared absconder by an accountability court in a corruption case, to appear on May 8 in a plea challenging his election to the Senate, Pakistani media reported today.
The former finance minister had won a Senate seat in March as a Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) backed independent candidate.
