Pakistan permits dual citizenship with some selective countries but not with all countries.
Until the law changes “dual citizens “ will suffer as Jews did in Germany during Hitter’s era. There being no distraction between good and bad “dual citizens”! Foreign national from permitted States can acquire Pakistani citizenship under Pakistani law and be equal citizens with the local citizens. So, why the which hunt?
All citizens dual or single within the country deserve to be treated equally with equal protection of the law of the land. There maybe single citizens who are disloyal to the State of Pakistan from within, who needs to be wetted out!
