Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader and former finance minister Senator Ishaq Dar has said that he is returning to Pakistan next month. Dar, who has been living in London since 2017, confirmed to the BBC Urdu saying his “intention to return to Pakistan next month is almost confirmed”. He expressed hope that his medical treatment is expected to be completed in the next 10 to 12 days. In September 2017, Dar was indicted by an accountability court in assets beyond means case. A few days later, he first left for Saudi Arabia and from there went to the UK for 'medical treatment'.

When asked by BBC Urdu about the cases against him in Pakistan and his bail, Dar said that he is facing only one “fake case which was filed by [former prime minister] Imran Niazi”. The PML-N leader also said that the “baseless” case against him was based on his tax return and added that he always filed his income tax return on time. "That is why when Imran Khan's government approached Interpol to bring me to Pakistan, the documents given to Interpol had no credence, so they gave a clean chit,” he added.
