He said that today I was scrutinized in the Election Commission, the Returning Officer returned my nomination papers on the basis of dual citizenship, whereas in the Constitution of Pakistan, an ordinary citizen can have dual citizenship, then he has the right to participate in the elections.
Referring to Pakistanis living abroad, he said that every month we send crores of rupees to Pakistan, which stabilizes the economy of the country, so a special legislation should be made for the immigrants so that they can participate in the elections and contribute to the country and the nation.
It should be noted that he had submitted nomination papers to participate in the elections from NA-128 constituency of Lahore, which have been rejected due to dual citizenship.
