Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Syed Zulfiqar Abbas Bukhari aka Zulfi Bukhari has renounced his British citizenship and stated that he will fight alongside former Prime Minister Imran Khan for his “true independence cause.”
“The country needs us, whether we win or lose is in Allah’s hands, but we have resolved to serve Pakistan,” Bukhari said, adding that some who fled Pakistan are seeking asylum but would have to return soon. The PTI leader stated that his choice to relinquish British citizenship was personal, and that he will run in the next general election on the PTI platform. The petition stated that a person who is ineligible to become a member of Parliament and thus a federal minister cannot be elevated to the rank of a state minister through the prime minister’s appointment as a special assistant.
Later, Bukhari argued before the Supreme Court that he is a naturalized British citizen who never acquired any other nationality. “The responding respondent (Zulfi Bukhari) was born in Britain on December 3, 1980, and is a British citizen by birth.” His citizenship was bestowed upon him by birth rather than via any activity on his part. As a result, the responding respondent did not take the oath of allegiance. Despite being born in the United Kingdom, the responding respondent deliberately chose to be a Pakistani citizen.
