Dual nationality: Parliamentarians given till November 30 to submit affidavits
The ECP also postponed the by-elections in Sindh and Punjab till December 4.
The elections were postponed due to Muharram after a plea was filed in this regard.
Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Fakhruddin G Ebrahim was presiding the meeting of the commission where the dates were set and the request for an extension was approved.
Additional Secretary Election Commission Afzal Khan said that the members of the parliament had gone for Hajj and that is why the deadline was pushed further.
Those members who have not submitted attested affidavits were issued directives again and will be written letters to as well.

"“It is suspected that 90 per cent of office holders, who have failed to submit declarations, hold dual nationality,” a senior ECP official said while talking to The Express Tribune." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The issue is dual nationality on the day they stood for elections, so even if they now discard dual nationality the crime is still there.
Just topi drama
@Kaashaan: Its the election commission not the "Legal system"
Why this procrastination ? It just enforces the perception that the Law is pliable and ways will be found so that the law doesn't effect the makers of the law. SHAME!!!
Not a single day relief is given to common citizens when it comes to paying utility bills. Our laws are for elites that's sure.
