She clarified that she holds Canadian nationality as it was her birthplace. She also expressed regret that her motive to serve her country was being discouraged just because she born somewhere and not in Pakistan.
In her resignation letter, she stated that she had returned to Pakistan with the “singular intent to contribute and develop the vision of a Digital Pakistan”. “I always was and shall be a Pakistani.”

It is pertinent to mention here that her resignation has come days after the opposition political leaders lambasted the government following the latter’s move to make public details of the assets and dual nationalities of 20 advisers and special assistants to Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The government was facing strong criticism for appointing individuals with dual nationality or holding another country’s permanent residency as special assistants to the prime minister.
