The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday suspended the National Database and Registration Authority's (Nadra) decision to cancel the citizenship of Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) leader Hafiz Hamdullah.

Hearing a petition filed by the former senator and minister, IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah sought a reply from Nadra within two weeks and directed the authority as well as the interior ministry not to take any sort of action against Hamdullah.

On Sunday, it was reported that Nadra declared Hamdullah an 'alien' after finding that he had 'fraudulently obtained' his computerised national identity card (CNIC), which was subsequently cancelled.

While the government decision had been taken two weeks prior, it came to the limelight only days before the JUI-F’s so-called 'Azadi March' on Islamabad. A notification issued by the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) barring TV channels from inviting Hamdullah to talk shows as a guest had referred to a Nadra letter dated Oct 11.

In his reaction, the JUI-F leader blamed state institutions of 'political victimisation' and said no one in his family, including his father, had ever been accused of being an alien. He said his father was an employee of the education department in 1974 and he had already provided documents to Nadra to prove it.

During court proceedings today, Hamdullah said Nadra had cancelled his CNIC and he had submitted a petition against the decision; however, no action had been taken on the application for a week. He said Nadra's decision should be declared void and the interior ministry should be stopped from taking any action.

Officials representing Nadra told the court that in December 2018, a letter was written to the JUI-F leader regarding his citizenship and a district-level committee had been formed. Following this, Hamdullah had appeared before the committee, which had asked him for his documentation.

According to Nadra, the documents presented by the JUI-F leader had turned out to be "bogus".

Justice Minallah asked if Hamdullah had any children and whether they had CNIC cards, to which his lawyer responded in the affirmative.

The counsel added that one of Hamdullah's sons was even in the army.

"Can you doubt the citizenship of the husband of a mother who sends her son to sacrifice himself for the country?" the IHC chief justice remarked.

After hearing initial arguments, the IHC decided to suspend Nadra's decision to cancel Hamdullah's citizenship.

Banana Republic :pakistan:
Very good decision. He is a Pakistani and using state departments against political opponents will simply destroy whole fabric of governance.

Hand this country over to the Americans. The Pakistanis are incapable of running it. Not a single leader in the past decades has been able to run this country. It is a joke from top to bottom. Disgusting.
 
.
A disgusting nation is what we are. A banana republic of the first order.

First make an arse out of yourself by revealing the bitter truth. Now reverse the most logical decision.

What a failure. What an incompetence. Shame shame.
A failed state is what you get when every department of government and state is doing "whatever" it pleases without any regard of constitutional restraints.
 
. . . .
IHC/LHC shagging anti state elements again.

This Athar Minallah is a bastard of the first degree. Iftikhar Chaudry's whore.

They should have never canceled it days before the march in the first place. These ill timed decisions sabotage the institutions. There’s no point in cancelling it now.

Everything reeks with incompetence. It has been since day one. These institutions are the problem my friend. They work against the state.

What is the point of this drama when you cannot even deliver justice?

Advisor bi chutiye bethe hain. Always opening a new front for IK to handle.
