LAHORE-In line with the orders of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, around 130 members of Punjab Assembly out of total 371, including some ministers, have so far submitted fresh oaths declaring thereby that they don’t possess nationality any other country. Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sahrif would submit his oath on his return from abroad. Majority of the 130 members who have submitted new oaths belong to the PPP and PML-N. The Secretary Punjab Assembly, Maqsood Malik is contacting Assembly members, one by one, on telephone and through text messages asking them to fill a new declaration form issued by the Election Commission seeking latest information about their current nationality. Following the apex court’s verdict, the Assembly members are required to submit on oath that they were not holding nationality of any other country at the time of their election and that they did not acquire the same afterwards. It merits mentioning here that Secretary National Assembly and Chairman Senate have refused to comply with ECP’s instructions citing rules of business which don’t allow them to do so. Following this, the Election Commission on Tuesday decided to contact the legislators on its own, asking them to submit fresh oaths in one week. The Secretary Sindh Assembly also seems unmoved so far on the issue, whereas the secretaries of Balochistan and KPK assemblies have started the process.   Earlier, in pursuance of the Supreme Court orders, the Election Commission of Pakistan had sent letters to the secretary National Assembly, Chairman Senate and secretaries of all provincial assemblies to seek fresh affidavits from the lawmakers about their nationality.   It may be recalled here that the apex court had on September 20 convicted 12 legislators for having dual nationality and 11 of them have already been disqualified by the election commission.
