PA membership of PML-N activist suspended

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) Friday suspended until October 12 the provincial assembly membership of Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N), Rana Asif Mahmood for holding Canadian nationality.  

Chief Justice LHC Umar Ata Bandial stopped the MPA from attending the Punjab Assembly session and issued notices to all those party to the case.

One Faisal Ilyas Sadiq had filed a petition stating that Rana Asif of PML-N was a dual nationality holder. The petition held that under article 63 of the Constitution a person holding dual nationality could not be elected as member of assembly.

Counsel for Faisal, argued that the country’s Constitution and laws did not allow dual nationals to become members of parliament and provincial assemblies and since Mahmood also possessed Canadian nationality, his assembly membership should be suspended.

After hearing the arguments, the court suspended Mahmood’s assembly membership until October 12.
