*ISLAMABAD - The Supreme Court disqualified two PML N senators, media has reported.*

*As per the media report, SC on Wednesday disqualified two PML-N senators for holding dual nationalities.*

Sadia Abbasi and Haroon Akhtar had dual-citizenships when they filed their nomination papers, the court said.
