The National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Law and Justice refused on Tuesday the bill on lawmakers’ dual nationality.
The bill (Pakistan Citizenship Amendment Bill 2011) was introduced in the lower house by MNA Tasneem Siddiqui. The new amendment seeks to disqualify dual nationality holders from assuming public office in Pakistan.
The decision emerged at the standing committee meeting, chaired by Abdul Ghafoor Chaudhry, in which the body members refused presentation of the bill in National Assembly on the grounds that such a law already existed according to which a Pakistani citizen having dual nationality could not be elected as MPA or MNA.

  1. More than 95 MNAs hold dual nationalities including powerful federal ministers, Gov State Bank, President National Bank, MD and Chairman PIAC, MD PIA Investments, etc etc.

  2. Patriotic Pakistani for Pakistan, 1947 two nations one on the name of religion and second on cultural oriented secular, question? How many overseas Pakistanis are like Dr Qadir,
    Most domiciled Pakistanis when they depart from Pakistan for better life, work, education they have no means for Pakistan by submitting fake asylum applications in western countries where as some smart wealthy, professionals ramp up to Pakistani political leaders and their associates.
    Pakistan’s govt can facilitates more NGOs.
    Please don’t decide the future of Pakistan from Dorchester Hotel London.
