Financial Discrepancies Alleged in Wealth Statement of JUI-F Leader Ziaur Rehman
ISLAMABAD: Questions have been raised over alleged financial discrepancies and unusual asset valuations in the wealth statement of Ziaur Rehman, brother of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and a senior party leader.
According to a report citing sources, Ziaur Rehman’s wealth statement shows that he received Rs12.5 million in cash from his father-in-law in 2022. The entry has raised questions about the purpose and source of the amount, as well as whether any banking record, written agreement or legal documentation exists to substantiate the transaction.
The reported statement also lists 375 kanals of inherited agricultural land, but its value has allegedly been declared zero for five consecutive years, prompting questions about why the land has not been assigned any financial worth.
Another issue concerns a two-kanal residential house in Dera Ismail Khan, whose declared value reportedly remained unchanged at Rs7.59 million from 2011 to 2025.
Similarly, a one-kanal and eight-marla residential plot was reportedly valued at just Rs72,000 throughout the period from 2011-12 to 2025. Questions have also been raised over the valuation of more than three-and-a-half kanals of agricultural land in Isa Khel, Mianwali, which was reportedly declared worth only Rs180,000.
The report further states that in 2025, Ziaur Rehman declared capital of Rs500,000 for a property advisory business, while showing business income of Rs1.65 million. This has prompted questions about the nature of the business and the sources of its earnings.
Another entry reportedly shows salary deposits exceeding Rs6.646 million in 2024, raising questions about the institution from which the amount was received, the employment against which it was paid and the bank account in which it was deposited.
The reported discrepancies have prompted calls for the complete documentary details of Ziaur Rehman’s declared assets, income, bank balances and properties to be made public.
The allegations and questions raised in the report have not been independently verified.
