Let us tell you that the appointment of Zulfi as SAPM was challenged in the Supreme Court of Pakistan in 2020 due to being dual national. The petition states that dual citizens should not be appointed as special assistants to the premier, following which the former SAPM resigned from his post in 2021 over the allegations leveled against him in the Rawalpindi Ring Road investigation.
