Cynthia D. Ritchie, a Pakistani based US journalist, have raised serious questions about Pakistan Origin Card being awarded to Foreign Nationals.
NADRA issued Pakistani POC to a Foreign National, a UAE citizen, AREF MOHAMED SALEH ALI ALZAROONI. However, this individual is a Foreign National with no Pakistani links - no Pakistani mother or Pakistani spouse.

UAE and Pakistan have no DUAL-NATIONALITY agreement. Therefore, Foreign Nationals with no Pakistani parent are only eligible for POC via spouse (certain conditions apply). If Foreign National have no Pakistani spouse, they are not eligible for POC.


Zarooni Money Exchange's license was revoked by UAE in 2016 after it's money laundering activities worth billions of dollars surfaced. Since about 2008, Altaf Khanani ran the network from the Al Zarooni Exchange in Dubai. Khanani was arrested in Panama in 2015 by US. There's also a related documentary called "A Billion Dollar Bust" released in 2018. It's sad that corrupt and criminal foreign nationals were given Pakistani ID cards to cause embarrassment worldwide.
