The National Database and Registration Authority on Saturday cancelled the citizenship of former Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F senator Maulana Hafiz Hamdullah and labelled the politician a ‘confirmed alien’.
The news came to the forefront after Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority directed TV channels not to invite former JUI-F Senator Maulana Hafiz Hamdullah as a guest on TV shows. The Pemra notification referenced a NADRA letter dated October 11 that affirmed that the JUI-F leader was not a citizen of Pakistan. The notification also stated that NADRA had cancelled the CNIC of the JUI-F leader. This would mean that the former senator is no longer a citizen of Pakistan.
