Both PPP and MQM ethnic parties know how to flout the Law ... All these resignees will soon be inducted as "Advisor" in the Sindh Cabinet by corrupt coalition government. The implementation of law should be across the board and these Dual Nationals should not only be disqualified for lying but they should be made to repay all perks & prevail ages they enjoyed for 4 years should be taken back with interest !!
I believe limit of shamelessness is the fact that they all enjoyed govt perks for so many years and when time came to choose between their allegience to Pakistan and their other country, they simply chose other country, this is the extent of their loyalty to Pakistan
With the resignation of these "foreigners" I am sure the corruption and mis-rule is gone from the province. It appears that people with Pakistan only nationality are all angels and people with dual nationality devils and all corrupt. Let us see how it works out for the poor?
How can these persons expect to win in elections if they are operating at opposites to the Constitution? Is anything possible in Pakistan??? Yes sir and no sir and thank you very much. Because, in the next election whenever they take place, my vote will only be for a desi Pakistani party that has no 'dual nationals.' Is that possible??? Salams
This makes clear that they r here just for perk and privileges. They can leave even ministerial post but not ready to b pakistani.
Deserves rigorous imprisonment.
What about Rehman Malik of Sindh ?
The liars should be sent to jail.This nation deserves better!!
With the resignations of the dual national Assemblies Members, Pakistan has started going on the right track.
What Pakistan needs is full Pakistanis and not the half.
PAKISTAN ZINDABAD
Brilliant! The SC & ECP need to keep working together to cleanse the pakistani political arena!
Loyal and patriotic leaders who present themselves as selfless ... really shameless
Many of them belong to MQM. Surprised? They lied to public for so many years. They are citizens of UK I think
