Yes, he can do it but he will be betraying one of the countries if situation arise! To add to this, in UK any resident permanent, temporary and citizen has right to vote. This is not true in Canada. I don’t know about US. Voting is different than governance

Who will bring him back for accountability. Lets see another scenario, Malik has business in UK and he is a citizen there, if he is to take decision against UK’s interests but for Pakistan, will he not be breaking oath when he swore as UK citizen to be faithful to the Queen? I personally am in this situation and would not like to take up position in government.

The fundamental conflict of interest is glaring. It is like having an CxO level officer for a top company, who is under employment by another company at a lower level.

They r more dangerous and conniving for Pam than politicians.

Nobody should have a write to keep dual nationality if he is in the ruling government. We should stop this normal practice for those who server the country in bad manner and runway after that from the country. Absolutely they are not patriot. They are selfish, Opportunities and greedy as well. We must have a solid criteria to appoint those leaders but not only counting the votes because you are talking about country. We must think up to that level in order to streamline law in order in our country.

If the constitution and law permits, there is no harm having dual nationality which I believe it does not.

Are we going to go for another ammedment?

Kick out all current “Pakistanis” from the government and run it properly. This has already happened with charities funded outside of Pakistan, they are very wary of letting Pakistani nationals run their charities as they are corrupt and do not care for their fellow man. Its time for Pakistani’s to realise they have run their country in to the ground and all they do is constantly complain that its someone else’s fault.

So when he holds talks with UK government ministers, they are really dealing with one of their own subjects and not a representative of a different sovereign nation. Ridiculous is it not?

Surrender the other citizenship. A dual citizenship is a crack in your patriotism that always is there to be exploited. Your loyalties will remain questionable. Look at India.

Look at Pakistan’s situation. Until Pakistan is a first rate nation, dual nationals must not be allowed to hold public office, period.
