Following Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) chief Nawaz Shairf’s directives, all his party members on Tuesday submitted affidavits in the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) declaring that none of them held dual nationality, Express News reported.
PML-N Senator Ishaq Dar submitted the affidavits in the ECP on behalf of the members.
The ECP had warned all lawmakers to submit declarations stating they do not hold dual nationality – else it will be assumed that they possess citizenship of more than one country.
Lawmakers have been given a month to comply with ECP's orders.
In this regard, letters had been sent to lawmakers making it clear that they have to comply with the direction within the stipulated period.
The commission will write letters to 1,174 parliamentarians who need to file fresh declarations about their nationality.

@Naseem Akhtar: Mr Dar was living near your home and he posted his british passport on his front door and announce on speaker that he is a british passport holder. get a life.
Mr Dar himself is holder of British nationality. When he worked it London some years back he lived near our home, and we know it.
Its not enough. The declaration should have been that they have not held dual citizenship since the time of filing of the nomination papers for 2008 elections.
