The former finance cizar and foreign minister was appointed deputy prime minister on April 28
Karachi: A petition was filed in the Sindh High Court (SHC) on Thursday against the appointment of Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar as deputy Prime Minister. The petitioner challenged the notification of the appointment.
A two-member bench headed by the chief justice will hear the case. According to the petitioner, there is no provision for the position of the deputy PM in Pakistan's constitution. Dar was appointed as deputy prime minister on April 28.
The PML-N stalwart is the fourth politician to be posted as the deputy PM in the history of Pakistan as earlier PPP founder Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, his wife Begum Nusrat Bhutto and PTI leader Chaudhry Pervez Elahi had served the portfolio.
