I am scratching my head... Don't we have to surrender foreign nationality after we accept federal government jobs ??
 
wow, traitors everywhere.

What traitors ? If they are citizens of another country by birth (born to Pakistani parents) and came back to Pakistan to serve the country of their parents than what's the harm ? Instead we should ban officials and start inquiries about those officials who were born here, raised here, and than during service took nationality of another country.
 
I think it should be dependent on the position; and long as it doesn’t cause a conflict of interest with either country.
Technically you cannot - If you are a US citizen, you swore an oath(unless that has no meaning to that person) to disregard all previous loyalties. In other words, when its time to choose you choose the United States ; by being dual nationals and in these government positions, they are shirking both oaths.

Ch. Muhammad Sarwar governor of Punjab

Are Pakistanis so naive that they don’t know what is happening..??
Any person worth their salt eg. bureaucrats, politicians and generals are looting the country and after looting as much as they can, are leaving the country and settling abroad.
Pakistan is being looted by its own people in power and the sad part is that there is no scope of improvement in current political environment.

Dual Citizens are Traitors? As per which Constitution?

yeah. i think some people dont know how much money dual nationalities are sending back to Pakistan. i know a guy whose wife is British Pakistani. she has sent multiple crores back to Pakistan recently to help poor girls get married and just donations to charity and stuff.
 
@AZADPAKISTAN2009 Do you see the problem with Dual Nationality now?

United Kingdom:
Oath:
"I, [name], swear by Almighty God that, on becoming a British citizen, I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Her Heirs and Successors according to law."
Pledge:
"I will give my loyalty to the United Kingdom and respect its rights and freedoms. I will uphold its democratic values. I will observe its laws faithfully and fulfil my duties and obligations as a British citizen."

Canada:
“I swear (or affirm) that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors, and that I will faithfully observe the laws of Canada, and fulfil my duties as a Canadian citizen.”

USA:
  1. Support the Constitution;
  2. Renounce and abjure absolutely and entirely all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which the applicant was before a subject or citizen;
  3. Support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
  4. Bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and
  5. A. Bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; or
    B. Perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; or
    C. Perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law.

Dual Citizens are Traitors? As per which Constitution?

it is my belief. It is supported by Black Mamba's post that shows the pledge of allegiance. There is also a famous quote, "No one can serve two masters". Those who have dual citizenship have chosen to become a servant of a new master.
How many people is the Pakistani gov't pursuing in foreign lands for fraud, theft, absconding with funds or what not? Wonder where the loyalties of those people lay?

btw somebody here mentioned remittances. Remittances only impoverish the people who live in Pakistan. Major remitting nations...India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Philippines, Vietnam, Mexico....all in poverty except China which became rich because of FDI and the transfer of factories and technology. You don't want remittances it is a form of invasion.
Who do you want to be richer in your nation? Those who build and create in Pakistan or those who serve and enrich some Arab in the ME or Dutch/Brit in the UK?

Whenever a dual national passes all the phases of selection in Pakistan Armed Forces, he or she is required to surrender the nationality of other countries upon final selection. So whoever enters the services, has only one nationality and that is Pakistani.
