PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has reportedly accused the federal government of betraying political negotiations by moving towards governor’s rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

According to reports circulated by D.I. Khan News, Fazlur Rehman alleged that he had been invited for negotiations before the government proceeded with measures affecting the province’s administration. Independent verification of the reported remarks is pending.

The same source claimed that Governor Faisal Karim Kundi had been authorised to exercise provincial executive powers with assistance from an 11-member advisory council.

According to the circulated reports, retired Lieutenant General Nigar Johar was assigned health responsibilities, Kifayatullah Khan home affairs, and Samar Bilour information and broadcasting.

The reports also claimed that the federal government had decided to deploy the Pakistan Army under Article 245 of the Constitution to support provincial administration and security.

Separately, D.I. Khan News reported that former chief minister Ali Amin Gandapur had been placed under house arrest in Dera Ismail Khan, with police deployed outside his residence.

Another unconfirmed report suggested that administrative changes involving Dera Ismail Khan and Tank were under consideration.

These developments, if officially confirmed, would represent significant changes in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s political and administrative arrangements.

Independent verification is pending for the reported appointments, detention and proposed administrative changes.
