ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) has fixed a review petition, seeking disqualification of Chief Minister (CM) of Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah over allegedly possessing dual nationality, for hearing, ARY News reported.
Petitioner Roshan Ali in his plea said that Chief Minister Sindh, while concealing his UAE work permit and his dual nationality and lying in front of the electoral body during the 2013 general elections, is no more truthful and honest, thus he should be declared disqualified.
Plea would be taken up by the SC bench on January 28. Notice has been served to Syed Murad Ali Shah for the hearing.
