This is with reference to Altaf’s unacceptable anti Pakistan remarks made in his speech addressing his party loyalists, inciting them to violence and revolt. The government is well aware that as British national he enjoys immunity from prosecution and punishment under laws of Pakistan. The state has failed numerous times to punish people who have sought political asylum, although they held Pakistani passport. If state sovereignty and national interest were supreme there is only one way this country can prevent such internal turmoil and interference from across our borders through individuals who run political parties, or head religious cult like groups, while sitting securely in foreign countries whose passports they hold and whose interest they are bound by law and oath of citizenship to serve. It is to ban any individual holding foreign passports to head any political party or group engaged in political activity. The question is, will petty self interest prevail over national security interests?
