Web Desk: Pakistan, Nov. 9, 2026 — Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) has suffered a setback in Sargodha after its district general secretary, Muhammad Fahad Hameed Kamboh, resigned from his position with immediate effect, citing serious disagreements with the party’s recent political statements and positions.
In a written resignation dated November 9, Fahad Hameed expressed strong reservations about the direction of the party’s political discourse, arguing that some of its recent statements reflected what he described as an anti-state mindset.
Fahad Hameed said certain political positions adopted by the party were inconsistent with the principles of national unity, constitutional responsibility and respect for state institutions.
He maintained that political activities and public statements should uphold constitutional obligations and contribute to national cohesion rather than undermine public confidence in state institutions.
His resignation highlights differences over the party’s recent political positions at the district leadership level.
In addition to his objections to the party’s political stance, Fahad Hameed criticised what he viewed as the use of religious values to advance political interests and organisational objectives.
He argued that religious principles should be upheld with dignity, sincerity and respect rather than used to justify political agendas.
According to his resignation, the exploitation of religious sentiments for partisan purposes was among the key concerns that influenced his decision to relinquish his position.
Furthermore, Fahad Hameed explicitly disassociated himself from the political positions and statements outlined in his resignation.
He said his disagreements had reached a point where continuing in his organisational role was no longer consistent with his principles.
Consequently, he announced his immediate resignation as JUI-F’s district general secretary in Sargodha.
The resignation represents a notable development for JUI-F’s district organisation, particularly as it involves a senior local officeholder publicly challenging the party’s political messaging.
Fahad Hameed’s departure also raises questions about whether similar concerns exist among other members of the party’s local leadership.
However, the extent of any wider internal disagreement remains unclear.
The resignation, dated November 9, 2026, marks a significant political development for JUI-F in Sargodha as the party faces public criticism from one of its own district officeholders.
