ISLAMABAD: An amendment bill seeking to ban the dual nationality of judges and bureaucrats was introduced in the National Assembly on Tuesday.
The bill was moved by Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) parliamentarian Noor Alam Khan.
Khan argued in the assembly that judges of the Supreme Court and High Court, as well as bureaucrats, should not hold dual citizenship to ensure the integrity and impartiality of their positions in public service.
He emphasized that a similar ban already applies to the President, Prime Minister, and members of Parliament.
The bill has now been referred to the Standing Committee, which will review and consider any potential amendments before returning it to the National Assembly for further debate and approval.
