KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) central information secretary Shafqat Mehmood has issued a statement on Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (Fazl) chief Fazlur Rehman's allegations against the PTI.
The statement claims that PTI's popularity "has unnerved many but none more so than the chameleon of Pakistani politics Maulana Fazalur Rehman."
Mehmood has accused Rehman of "crossing all limits of political decency" by accusing the PTI of being supported by the establishment, CIA and the Jewish lobby.
Mehmood also notes that people like Rehman have "forgotten their own past record" including the JUI-F allegedly asking then-US ambassador to help him become prime minister or his support of former president General (retd) Pervez Musharraf. The PTI statement reads: "Due to these services to the establishment he got allotted large tracts of land to himself and his family in Dera Ismail Khan. So, who has a history of supporting the establishment? Maulana Fazalur Rehman or Imran Khan?"
PTI has asked Rehman to look at his own deeds before accusing others.

@ Mehran. Agreed with you. I believe PTI should let Shirin Mazari deal with all the accusations in future. The lady got a firm yet graceful method of clarifying issues.
@Kashif Iqbal: How many union councils had zardari run before becoming president? Wether PTI has any representation in the assembly or not it belongs to Pakistan and has every right to ask the resignation of government over their corruptions, failures, price hike, lawlessness and making our lives miserable.
To Mehran, As per you "questions raised by FR" then please answer that has FR raised the questions against Imran Kahn with prof? If not then this is the BOHTAN on IK.
Inshallah IK will prove with action the positive CHANGE in Pakistan and for Pakistani if got chance to prove.
Allah know better!!!
PTI suppoters are far from revolutionary thoughts.They know one things and which suit them is to use bad words for their oppnents.I feel sorry for Anwar and nothing else.
Clean and clear politician,maulana fazal ur rahman is.He himself and his party was not benifiary of NRO.Their provential government in KPK was a clean governament admitted by the foriegn auditors.Dear shafaqat,only made baseless accusation against such great leader of Pakistan history.No case is filed against Maulana at any court within pakistan regarding corruption.His name is not invoved in any corruption scandal till to date.If shafqat sahib has, then we will feel happy if he present this to Pakistani nation.
Maulana Diesel
It shows that joining of Azam Swati has hit hard to Maulana Diesel.
@Mehran: lolzz..So you think that every 'sane Pakistani' thinks that PTI is backed by CIA and Jewish Lobby...conspiracy theories much?
imran is great we are with him.
Change in stand is essential for survival of every party in Politics and same is very much in practice of both PTI, JUI and even others too, so, such sort of blame game is no more than Political sledging which can niether fill belly of a common citizen nor can provide it security.
@Tehreek-e-Insaf FATA: PTI isn't in the assembly; not even a 0.001% of popular vote.. but still they want an elected Prime Minister to be out of his office; a president with 2/3rd majority to go away. They label allegations on everyone, but unfortunately PTI has no experience in running of even a Union-Council office.
Everyone is bad except PTI :D PTI guys are over-confident.
Why is EVERYBODY mad at PTI (and with so much coherence)? PTI isn't even in the Assembly; Never been in the Government. Even then PPP, PMLN, JUI, MQM, ANP and PMLQ criticize it as if all problems of Pakistan over the past 65 years are due to PTI.... Astonishing...
If they being sp by estb than why does not PM fires them as they work under him unless he is corrupt.
Nicely replied by PTI, putting light on all of the right points about our dear "Maulana". His hypocrisy is well known to all and sundry. A bit of wikileaks and a simple youtube video on Ansar Abbasi's report on land allotment to the Maulana is enough to expose that.
Instead of defending your party and giving proper line that you are neither backed up by internal nor external Establishment. You reply FR with counter accusation. This counter accusation is not productive, because questions raised by FR are actually in the mind of every sane Pakistani. Pls reply and prove it through your actions. We need change but not a pseudo change under the umbrella of Establishment.
