Supreme Court disqualifies two PML-N senators for holding dual nationality

The Supreme Court disqualified on Wednesday two PML-N senators for holding dual nationalities.

Sadia Abbasi and Haroon Akhtar had dual-citizenships when they filed their nomination papers, the court said.






Abbasi is the sister of former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, while Akhtar served as the adviser to the prime minister on revenue.

The Election Commission has been directed to de-notify them.

On March 5, Chief Justice Saqib Nisar had ordered the electoral body to withhold notifications announcing the victory of four senators after they were accused of holding dual nationalities. The list included Abbasi, Akhtar, Nuzhat Sadiq, and Chaudhry Sarwar.

According to Article 63(1)(C) of the Constitution: “A person shall be disqualified from being elected or chosen as, and from being, a member of Parliament if he ceases to be a citizen of Pakistan or acquires the citizenship of a foreign state

ECP seems useless! Why the hell do they not investigate these things when papers are initially filed?

Also, anyone found to have been lying to ECP needs to be banned for life from holding any public office!

yes, but progress happens slowly, not like you wake up and you are breathing in a new Pakistan all of a sudden...

angoor ke daaney khao, abhi se angoor ke bagh na gino...

there is nothing that can slow this.

all it takes is to scroll through a record and say ok these are the dual nationals holding office. bye.

its the political baggage and messianism that does not let it happen otherwise jamhoori batairayn will be in danger

WTH :O

Haroon Akhtar recently contested against Saad Rafique on PTI ticket and lost to him in by elections (NA - 131).

Had he won, PTI seat would had gone wasted.

News title is wrong..Haroon Akhtar is not the part of PMLN anymore. He joined PTI just before July 25 elections and PTI contested on Imran Khan seat NA 131 which he lost this Sunday.

Why ECP isn't being punished for not fulfilling basic duties and wasting resources on elections which will be turned down later? And why no punishment to candidates for hiding details ?

Ladies and Gentleman 70 years of fcuk ups in every corner of the country, can't be fixed all at ones, you have to give him time.

All new law needs to be passed against those who are holding dual nationality or single overseas nationality, only Pakistan nationality holder should be allowed to contest in elections & politics. As dual nationality or overseas nationality holders inly care for themselves & corruption.
