ISLAMABAD: A terrorism case has been registered against Mufti Abrar Ahmed, secretary to JUI-F chief Maulana Fazal ur Rehman, the party’s spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said the case also names more than 200 unidentified JUI-F workers. The party rejected allegations that Ahmed and its workers assaulted police, calling the accusations false. It said using criminal cases to settle political disputes runs counter to democratic principles.
Separately, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has issued another summons to Asad Mahmood, Fazal ur Rehman’s son, as part of an inquiry into alleged illegal appointments at the Pakistan Post Office Department.
Mahmood, who was federal minister for communications and postal services from 2022 to 2023, was asked to appear on November 10, 2026. He did not attend, submitting a written reply through his lawyer instead. NAB deemed the response unsatisfactory and ordered him to appear in person on November 13 at 11am. The notice warned that failure to comply could result in action under Section 31 of the National Accountability Ordinance 1999.
The inquiry concerns alleged appointments involving officers and other staff. Separately, JUI-F leader Maulana Asad Mahmood was previously declared a deliberate defaulter and absconder in an FIA investigation into alleged illegal recruitment after missing a summons.
