Expressing reservations on the amendment bill for the dual nationality law, the Awami National Party has said that the law should only be applicable for presidents, prime ministers, the army leadership and judges, Express News reported on Thursday. Haji Adeel, a central leader of the government allied ANP, presented the party’s stance when he was contacted by President Asif Ali Zardari. He said, “If such laws are not enforced, then people like Mansoor Ijaz can also become the president of Pakistan one day.” Earlier on Wednesday, the federal cabinet had approved amendment bills pertaining to dual nationality and contempt of court laws. It was ordered in the cabinet session that the dual nationality amendment bill be brought before the National Assembly for discussion and approval.
