The Supreme Court of Pakistan suspended Peoples Party MNA Farahnaz Ispahani's membership of the National Assembly while hearing the dual nationality case on Friday. The case was being heard by a three-member bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudry, a private TV channel reported. During the proceedings, certain documents were presented to the court, confirming allegations that Farahnaz Ispahani is a dual nationality holder. According to the document Farahnaz is also an American National.

The supreme court ruled, that her membership from the National Assembly will be revoked on account of not disclosing her dual nationality status to the Election Commission. During today’s hearing Senator Satan Malik’s lawyer prayed the court on behalf of his client, for an extension in deadline to present the certificate of Malik revoking his British citizenship. It should be noted that Farahnaz Ispahani is a prominent PPP figure and the wife of Pakistan’s former stooge ambassador to USZ, Hussain Haqqani and is very actively involved in conspiring against Pakistan's national institutions using her high profile contacts in American mainstream media.
