The Awami National Party (ANP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Thursday expressed their reservations over an amendment allowing dual nationals in parliament. The ANP said that the law should only be applicable for the person’s nominated for the offices of president, prime minister or the army leadership and judges. Opposing the bill, the PML-N criticised the contempt of court amendment bill and said that the bill is equivalent to restricting the judiciary’s authority. Haji Adeel, a central leader of the government allied ANP, presented the party’s stance when President Asif Ali Zardari contacted him. Adeel said, “If such laws are not enforced, then people like Mansoor Ijaz can also become the president of Pakistan one day.”
