Pakistan Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Lead representative Faisal Karim Kundi was eliminated and Jamiat Ulema-I-Islam-Fazl’s (JUI-F) Maulana Asad Mehmood has been assigned for the workplace. In any case, no such advancement has happened.
Mehmood is the son of Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the head of the JUI-F. After weeks of political wrangling, the 26th constitutional amendment was approved on Monday thanks in large part to Fazl.
He initially opposed the amendment and joined the PTI, but after much discussion with the government, he eventually agreed to the constitutional reforms.
Nonetheless, the PTI didn’t uphold the change and didn’t decide in favor of it in spite of communicating concurrence with the draft birthed after conferences with Fazl.
On October 21, a fan record of PTI legal counselor Naeem Bukhari imparted a post to the subtitle: ” Maulana Asad Mehmood, selected by Head of the state Shehbaz Sharif as legislative leader of KP, has taken out Lead representative Faisal Kundi. The first result of Maulana’s agreement with the government is this appointment.
The post was shared 6,900 times and received more than 203,000 views.
Other users also shared the claim a lot, as shown here and here.
Due to the claim’s high virality and strong public interest in political developments related to the outcomes of the newly approved constitutional package, a fact check was initiated to determine its veracity.
A post from JUI-F spokesperson Aslam Ghauri on October 21st, which denied the alleged development, was found when we checked the official social media accounts of the parties involved to see if they had addressed the matter.
He stated, “The unfounded news is an attempt to sabotage the historic and successful efforts of JUI chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman regarding the 26th constitutional amendment.”
He said it was unmerited news that was “in spite of editorial qualities” and established in “manufacture and lies”.
Moreover, there was no traditional press inclusion of the supposed turn of events, something which could sensibly be anticipated in the event that it had really happened considering it was about a region’s lead representative being changed.
Lastly, Governor Kundi continued to perform his duties and occupy his office, as evidenced by numerous posts about his activities today, according to his official X account.
In this manner, the reality check resolved that the case that Lead representative Kundi has been taken out from his assignment while Mehmood has been selected for the post is misleading. While Governor Kundi continues to carry out his responsibilities, a spokesperson for the JUI-F denied any such development.
