Dr Mirza Ikhtiar Baig dismissed PTI’s claim about his dual nationality!

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Dr Mirza Ikhtiar Baig won the election on the NA-241 seat as an opponent of PTI’s Khurram Sher Zaman.

In a statement issued on Monday, he said that the documents about his renunciation of Canadian citizenship along with an affidavit were submitted to the Election Appellate Tribunal of the Sindh High Court (SHC).

He added that he was allowed to contest elections based on his submission of those documents.

In a statement posted on X,  PTI’s Khurram Sher Zaman said Baig was allowed by the Election Appellate Tribunal to run as a candidate in the NA-241 constituency despite being a dual citizen of Canada and Pakistan.

“But the time is now to provide documentary proof of renunciation of Canadian citizenship or be disqualified under the constitution’s Article 63(1),” he added.
