SC issues notices in plea challenging Bukhari s appointment

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court issued notices to respondents in a plea challenging the appointment of Syed Zulfiqar Abbas Bukhari as Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Overseas Pakistanis for allegedly being a dual national.

A three-judge SC bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar heard the petition.

During course of proceedings, the CJP asked how could a common person while being a dual national become a minister while parliamentarians could not hold dual nationalities.
