The Supreme Court has rejected the documents submitted by Interior Minister Rehman Malik and gave him one day to prove that he has renounced his British citizenship.
The minister’s failure in satisfying the court by showing the receipt of the payment made to forgo his British citizenship may cause him to lose his membership in the parliament.
“You are showing us the form,” said Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry to the minister’s counsel, Chaudhry Azhar. “Show us the declaration renouncing his (British) citizenship.” The court also directed Attorney General (AG) Irfan Qadir to write to the national and provincial assemblies for information regarding lawmakers with dual nationalities.
