ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Thursday raised objections over the proposed legislation to alter contempt of court and dual nationality laws, saying the move will place curbs on judicial authority and safeguard the interest of the incumbent government.
Central leader of Awami National Party (ANP) Senator Haji Adeel, while talking to The Express Tribune also expressed reservations over the bill seeking amendment in the dual nationality law.
Leader of the opposition in national assembly, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan while talking about the proposed legislations said, “We will strongly oppose the moves and will never become a party in this unholy alliance.”
According to PML-N suggestion, dual nationals should be allowed to contest election but before taking oath they should abandon their dual nationality.
