Fact-Check: Balochistan Sports Minister Jamal Raisani Is Not Son Of Interim PM Kakar

Jamal Raisani, the youngest caretaker Sports Minister in Balochistan, is neither the son of caretaker Prime Minister Anwar-Ul-Haq Kakar nor does he have any blood relation with him; in fact, both belong to different tribes, Kakar and Raisani.

Rumors were making the rounds on social media that caretaker Prime Minister Anwar-Ul-Haq Kakar has appointed his son as caretaker sports minister in Balochistan, but there is no authenticity in the misguided posts circulating on the internet.

The propagandists tried to portray a young minister, Jamal Raisani, as the son of PM Kakar, which was followed by backlash and criticism from netizens.

Jamal Raisani is not more than 25 years old, and he might be termed the youngest minister in the history of the country, but he is not the son of the caretaker prime minister. In fact, Jamal belongs to the famous Raisani family of Balochistan, and his father was assassinated during an attack by a banned outfit while he was engaged in an election campaign.

It is yet to be ascertained whether Jamal Raisani will succeed in proving his expertise and skills in the field of politics or not, but he has no blood relation to PM Kakar.

It is pertinent to mention here that Kakar is a Pashtun tribe in Balochistan, whereas Raisani is a Baloch tribe.
