Sen. Hafiz Hamdullah is not Pakistani Citizen conveys NADRA - PEMRA issues notice to all TV channels

[I S I]

What negations? Shame on this government. They don't even have the cajones to take a bunch of Afghan cavemen to task? They have to negotiate their way out with a bunch of nasty Indian loving Mullahs.

That's the sad reality.

He belongs to Chaman,served in a Govt department for 10 to 15 years.He took part in elections and he was member of Balochistan legislation.He became a
In March 2012 he was elected to the Senate of Pakistan on general seat as JUI-F candidate.He is the chairperson of senate committee on Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony, and member of functional committee on Government Assurances, Information Technology and Telecommunication and committee on Ports and Shipping.

BUT.. he is not a Pakistani.. not even a dual national..

He should have left his Afghan citizenship, applied for Pakistani citizenship legitimately and become a citizen..

Since you asked in an earlier comment that how to know he is not loyal to Pakistan? Because he got the citizenship through fraud.. he played with the weaknesses of Pakistani system and took full advantage of it.. Had he been loyal, he would have identified the weaknesses publicly..

Is this too difficult to ascertain?

 

[Kabira]

His son is in army? How is father non-Pakistani but son is?

 

[ARMalik]

Put this into perspective folks. This man has been a senator of this nation for God knows how long. Not some ordinary man selling fish at the market, but a senator. Turns out he is not even a Pakistani.

Is this some joke? Seriously what have we done to Pakistan. We don't deserve an inch of this country. Not a millimeter. We are beyond incompentent.

No wonder every Tom, Dick and Harry took Pak for a ride. It is an absolute joke. Even a banana republic has some rules.

And this is the unfortunate truth in Pakistan. Just imagine hundreds and thousands of such "foreign agents" who are currently working in each and every sector of Pakistan including the Military and even within its intelligence agencies. The prospect is scary. But then this is only possible when the corruption has no limits, and when the "famed intelligence agencies" are actually incompetent. I think it is time for us to call 'spade a spade' and acknowledge the ground realities that this country has been sold off to the highest bidders by the Ruling Elites of Pakistan.

There is lot more than,what you and me are thinking.

 

[IceCold]

I hope next he is thrown out from senate.

 

[graphican]

Nip the evil in bud.Don't tell me that nobody knew about him before today.

@Yaseen1, @Sine Nomine
The state would know for sure. Marvi Sarmad tweeted about him in 2016 and no one took any action possibly because of ongoing military operations against terrorists and the state didn't want to open a political front needlessly.

Principally, however, no non-Pakistani can represent Pakistan. Someone's religion doesn't guarantee he can be loyal to your state. Hussain Haqqani, Altaf Hussain, Nawaz Sharif are all Muslims but we know what these apparently Muslims did to your state.

He was once a Govt servant,then he became a MPA and then a senator.
Why it took almost 30 years to know that,he isn't Pakistani?

 

[YeBeWarned]

throw his A$$ back to Afghanistan ..

 

[koolio]

The question is he an alien or refugee, an Alien should be immediately repatriated back to his home country.

The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) on Saturday directed all TV channels in the country to refrain from inviting Hafiz Hamdullah of the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) on their programmes, saying he is not a Pakistani citizen.

In a communiqué sent to all satellite TV channels, Pemra said the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) had in a letter dated October 11 conveyed that "Senator Hafiz Hamdullah Saboor is 'confirmed Alien' as he is not a citizen of Pakistan."

It further said Nadra has "cancelled and digitally impounded the CNIC (computerised national identity card) issued" to Hamdullah.

"Since it is established that the said person is an 'alien', therefore, all the TV channels (News and Current Affairs) are directed to refrain from inviting and projecting Mr Hafiz Hamdullah Saboor in their programmes/talk shows, news etc.," the authority said in its letter.

Hafiz Hamdullah, who remained a senator from Balochistan between March 2012 and March 2018, frequently makes appearances in evening political talk shows on various news channels.

The directive banning his TV appearances comes days before the JUI-F is scheduled to lead an anti-government 'Azaadi' protest march of opposition parties.

On Friday, the first talks between a government negotiating committee and the joint opposition’s Rehbar Committee ended without a breakthrough.

JUI-F chief Fazlur Rehman had announced his party’s decision in June about the October march in a bid to topple the government that he said had come to power through “fake” elections. According to him, the long march will start from Sindh on Oct 27 and reach Islamabad on Oct 31. The march is being staged as the opposition believed that Prime Minister Imran Khan had failed to run the government that had caused an unprecedented price hike and economic crisis and that the PTI government had come to power through “rigging”.

Pakistan doesnt give out citizenships

Pakistan doesnt give out citizenships

He could've married a Pakistani, but he even didn't consider to do it.

 

[Pakhtoon yum]

He could've married a Pakistani, but he even didn't consider to do it.

Even then you dont get citizenship. If I am not wrong only foreign women get citizenship if they marry Pakistani men.
