Fact check: Notification regarding removal of KP information adviser Barrister Saif is fake

Posts from multiple users on social media platform X on Thursday claimed that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur removed Barrister Mohammad Ali Saif as his information adviser and shared an alleged notification of the decision. However, the viral notification is fake and no such development has occurred.

A standoff currently persists between the federal government and the Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM). The federal government proscribed the group on Sunday and outlawed any of its gatherings.
