The Supreme Court Monday suspended Malik's Senate membership for holding dual nationality of Britain and Pakistan. It was not clear whether Malik continues to be a minister.

Malik said he had forfeited his British citizenship but he failed to provide sufficient documents to the apex court.

The court had earlier suspended the National Assembly membership of Pakistan Peoples Party lawmaker Farahnaz Ispahani, and has issued notice to Finance Minister Abdul Hafeez Sheikh in similar cases.
