Hafiz Hamdullah


Maulana Hafiz Hamdullah Saboor is a Pakistani politician who previously served as the member of Senate of Pakistan.
The Pakistan National Database and Registration Authority on 26 October cancelled the citizenship of Hafiz Hamdullah and labelled the politician a “confirmed alien as he is not a citizen of Pakistan”. The news came to the front after Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority directed TV channels not to invite former JUI-F Senator Maulana Hafiz Hamdullah as a guest on TV shows. The notification referenced a NADRA letter dated October 11 that affirmed that the JUI-F leader was not a citizen of Pakistan.
