Closed Ban absconder Pakistan’s Ex-Finance Minister Ishaq Dar from the UK

Closed on

The Ex-Finance minister of Pakistan Ishaq Dar has been declared an absconder in a corruption reference filed against him by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) of Pakistan. Interior Ministry of Pakistan blacklists Ishaq Dar, blocks his passport. Ishaq Dar is currently hiding in the UK.

Each year UK spends billions on overseas development aid. In 2016, the UK spent £13.4 billion on overseas aid. Pakistan is in top 10 countries who receives this aid. The UK shouldn’t provide a refuge for politicians who are wanted on corruption charges.
