The Pakistan National Database and Registration Authority on 26 October cancelled the citizenship of Hafiz Hamdullah and labelled the politician a “confirmed alien as he is not a citizen of Pakistan”.[3][4] The news came to the front after Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) 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.[5][6]
