Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) has faced a significant political development in Sargodha after its District General Secretary, Muhammad Fahad Hameed Kamboh, announced his immediate resignation from his party position, citing serious reservations over the party’s recent political positions and statements.
In his written resignation dated November 9, 2026, Kamboh expressed strong concerns about certain recent statements and political positions adopted by the party, which he claimed reflected an anti-state mindset.
The outgoing district general secretary maintained that some of the party’s political positions were inconsistent with the principles of national unity, constitutional responsibilities and respect for state institutions.
He stated that he could no longer associate himself with political positions that, in his view, contradicted these fundamental national principles.
Kamboh also raised serious objections to what he described as the use of religious values for political interests and party objectives.
He emphasised that religious principles should be upheld with dignity, sincerity and respect rather than being used to justify political agendas or advance partisan interests.
In his resignation letter, Kamboh formally distanced himself from the political positions he criticised and announced that he was stepping down from his organisational responsibilities with immediate effect.
The resignation marks a notable development for JUI-F in Sargodha, bringing attention to concerns expressed by a senior district-level officeholder over the party’s recent political direction.
Kamboh’s departure also raises questions about whether similar disagreements exist within the party’s local organisational structure.
The resignation, dated November 9, 2026, comes amid political debate over the party’s positions and its relationship with state institutions.
