Islamabad At least seven members of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s cabinet have dual citizenship or are permanent residents of another country. The details of the assets and nationality of these ministers have been put on the website of the Cabinet Division. Following this disclosure, the opposition may lay siege to the Imran Khan government. This can become a new problem for the Imran government, which is constantly facing problems. The special thing is that when Imran Khan was in opposition he criticized the foreign nationals who occupied public offices. In such a situation, what will be given to Imran on this?
