Warrant has been issued against the finance minister who worked day and night to pull the country out of economic crises and darkness, said former prime minister?s daughter Maryam Nawaz.

In a tweet posted on Sunday, Maryam expressed anger over National Accountability Bureau?s decision to issue red notice against Senator Ishaq Dar, who has served as the country?s finance minister. She said Dar was also the one who took the country?s stock market to new heights.

Maryam said Dar has been held accountable despite his initiatives for the country, but she added no one has dared to issue a red warrant against General (retd) Pervez Musharraf, whom the entire nation considers their enemy. According to Maryam, it should be Musharraf who should be brought back through Interpol.

She added the country will believe in the supremacy of law if red warrant is issued against the former dictator of Pakistan.

On December 14, NAB decided to issue a red notice for Dar, according to a notification issued by the accountability department.

An executive board meeting, headed by NAB Chairperson Javed Iqbal, decided to bring Dar back to Pakistan with the help of the Interpol.

A red notice will be issued for Dar, a NAB notification says

The PML-N leader is currently receiving medical treatment in London.

"He [Dar] is suffering from no such ailment that cannot be treated in Pakistan," the NAB notification states.

Dar is accused of possessing assets disproportionate to his declared sources of income.

A reference against the former finance minister was filed by the NAB in light of the Supreme Court's July 28 verdict in the Panama Papers case.

Dar had been earlier declared a proclaimed offender by the accountability court due to his continuous absence from the proceedings.

On November 23, Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi accepted Dar?s request to be relieved of his duties as the finance minister. He was relieved of his three roles, including his portfolio in the finance ministry, and was informed of the decision.
