This is a follow up to my previous letter ‘NADRA ordeal’ (January 20, 2024). As per the advice of the relevant NADRA officials, on January 31 I visited the NARDA mega centre in North Nazimabad, Karachi along with my ailing wife and son so as to appear before the designated panel/board to answer their questions/queries regarding the final renewal of my wife’s CNIC. My wife answered their questions but they refused to renew her CNIC and again told us to submit a nationality certificate.
During the question-answer session, when I said that we were not at all satisfied with the decision of the panel/board and asked why we were called to the centre when I had already answered all these questions over the phone a few days ago, one of the members of the panel/board got angry and told me in a harsh tone “badtameezi na karain” (don’t be rude). Panel/board members representing NADRA must maintain decency and ethical norms while dealing with people, particularly senior citizens. I request the relevant officials to kindly look into the matter and take serious notice of such misbehaviour and to enable the renewal of my wife’s CNIC without any further hassle.
