Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has formed an 11-member committee on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Jang reported. Sources cited by the newspaper said the committee will monitor governance, law and order and day-to-day affairs in the province, and that Deputy Prime Minister Senator Ishaq Dar will convene it. The report does not quote the prime minister directly.
Separate claims about politics and security in the province are circulating on social media. They do not appear in the Jang report, and that report does not confirm them.
What the committee will watch
Sources quoted by Jang said the committee will monitor governance, law and order and routine affairs in the province. In ordinary language, that means how the administration is being run, whether security is holding, and how everyday government work is carried out. The paper presented this account as information from sources.
No start date or timetable is given. The report also does not describe what authority the committee will have over provincial departments.
Who sits on the panel
Ishaq Dar is the convener, the sources told Jang. Federal ministers named as members are Senator Azam Nazeer Tarar, Ahsan Iqbal, Amir Muqam, Tariq Fazal Chaudhry and Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui. Senator Rana Sanaullah is also included.
The same sources said a representative of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) and the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP) would be included. That representative is not named. The names published so far do not fill every seat on an 11-member body, and Jang did not print a complete list.
Claims on social media
A Samaa TV post on Instagram said propaganda on social media about unrest in the province had been termed misleading. The caption does not say who reached that conclusion, and it does not describe a particular incident. All that is on the record from that post is the one-line claim.
A second Samaa TV reel referred to governor’s rule. That is the arrangement in which a governor administers a province for the centre, in place of an elected cabinet. The caption claimed that Sohail Afridi had protected his own politics by sacrificing the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government, and that Zaigham Khan had set out the party’s future. The post does not include a quotation, an official order or a date.
On X, a post under a hashtag marked as trending said governor’s rule was not acceptable. The hashtag, #آئین_شکن_راج_نہیں_چلے_گا, rejects rule it describes as a break with the Constitution. That reaction does not show that governor’s rule has been imposed.
What is still unconfirmed
The Jang report on the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa committee does not say that governor’s rule is in place, or that an elected government has been removed. It does not link the new panel to the posts about unrest. Until a named authority confirms those claims, they remain unverified.
The report also leaves out the party representative’s name, any schedule of meetings, and what the committee must report to the prime minister. Jang has not given a deadline for those details.
