Ishaq Dar is set to be acquitted says Fawad Chaudary
Responding to Islamabad Accountability Court’s decision to suspend the permanent arrest warrant of PML-N leader and former finance minister, PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry says that preparations are underway to acquit Ishaq Dar.
While tweeting, he wrote that ‘Ishaq Dar is now ready to be acquitted, I am surprised that the courts are watching the spectacle of how the accused and NAB are conspiring to dispose of Pakistan’s money. This spectacle was the main objective of ‘Regime Change’. It is unfortunate that NRO 2 is being implemented and everyone is silent except Imran Khan.
