Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has firmly rejected social media rumours claiming that President Asif Ali Zardari is being removed from office and that a constitutional amendment in Pakistan is underway.

Speaking to journalists in Sindh's Rohri city during his Ashura visit, Naqvi urged people not to fall for such unfounded speculations.

"Don’t pay attention to these baseless social media reports," Naqvi said. He emphasised the need for political calm, especially during the sacred days of Ashura, and advised the media to refrain from political debates for at least two days out of respect.

Naqvi hinted that some individuals were uncomfortable seeing politicians, the government, and the military establishment working together for national unity. “These misleading narratives are being spread by those who can’t tolerate our unity,” he added.

The rumours gained traction after the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) secured a simple majority in the National Assembly. Following a recent Election Commission ruling and a Supreme Court verdict, the ruling alliance's strength increased from 218 to 235 members, giving them a significant majority.

Addressing concerns about coalition politics, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar also confirmed that the constitutional amendment in Pakistan narrative is false. Speaking at Lahore's Data Darbar shrine, Dar reaffirmed the Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) role as a key coalition partner.

“PPP is and will remain our ally,” Dar said, recalling how the Bilawal Bhutto Zardari-led party supported the government during challenging times. “They stood with us when it mattered most. We will stand by them now, even in better times,” he added.

When asked if the PPP demanded any new ministries, Dar clearly stated that no such request had been made.
