The curious case of ‘4m fake’ CNICs If names of these fake CNIC holders are added in the voters’ lists, the democratic system will be in question ISLAMABAD: On July 16, Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Mohammad Khan categorically denied and refuted the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA)’s claim that National Database & Registration Authority (NADRA) had issued three-to-four million fake CNICs while responding to a calling attention notice in the upper house of the parliament. The parliamentary affairs minister, while questioning the findings of FIA Sindh Director Amir Farooqi, had said on the floor of the house that either Farooqi “misunderstood” the figures or the “source that had provided it was wrong”.
