ISLAMABAD - Challenging the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP)’s decision of barring dual nationality-holders from contesting elections for parliament, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan announced on Wednesday that his party would file a review petition with the ECP seeking a reversal of the decision. “A number of Pakistanis having dual nationalities have vast businesses abroad... They serve the country in the shape of foreign remittances amounting to billions of rupees and they should have the right to contest polls,” he told reporters at a press conference in which former federal law minister from the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Syed Iftikhar Gilani and former provincial minister Iftikhar-ud-Din Khattak joined the PTI.

Responding to a query regarding reports of a secret deal between the government and the military over the memogate scandal, Khan said he was not aware of any secret deal between the government and military over the memo issue but the judiciary should take the issue to its logical end.

If true this is a bad idea. Just yesterday Shereen Mazaari was defending the court's decision and mentioning the negative part of US nationality oath.
I hope this news is not true.

Imran Khan charity money is coming from Pakistanis living abroad so something needs to be given back. Money speaks. Personally I think dual nationals should have no right to rule Pakistan. Where is Shoukat Aziz? He was our imported prime minister.

i am against IK on this issue
Buhat khoob.
IK ka koi aik supporter to mila jo IK se Iktilaaf kr sakta hai.
Mere khial me aap ne IK ki wo press confrence nahi dekhi jis me os ne apne suppoeters ko kaha tha k in ko koi haq nahi k party me aane waloon par koi aitraaz karen.
IK ab tak shor machata raha k Nawaz apne assets Pakistan laye.
Ab kea ho gea????
Lagta hai k Loton ka rang charna shoro ho gea.
ya wo baat sach hai k IK ne Q-league join kr li.
