Speaking to media in Islamabad, Rehman said he finds commenting on Khan’s “failures” a useless exercise as Khan lacks vision and only wants publicity in the international media.
Responding to accusations made by Khan with regard to his peace march, Rehman said that if PTI chairman had asked him, he would have invited him over to his house.
“We don’t mistreat our guests, we serve them with better things,” he stated.
Rehman added that Khan is clueless about the tribal customs and traditions as he was not brought up in this culture.
Replying to a question regarding the dual nationality case, Rehman said his party is against dual nationals contesting elections.
“I think this trend of imported parliamentarians should end now,” he said.

The Rise OF the Tigers and The Fall of the Hypocrites have Just Begun. Salute to IMRAN KHAN
Maulana sahib we dont believe you. religion is not something you can barter with, (unlike money and deisel) We need more schools, hospitals and a revamp of the system. That is not happening by electing you or your followers. We need less protests, less talk ,less hate speech, less violence and much more work and results.
Let assume for the sake of discussion if this was a political stunt by Imran, why don't the other parties do it as well and especially Maulana who has (according to him) respect and political might in that region..... I would have to agree with Imran in this regard that Peace March has really hurt the "dukandaari" business of these political sellouts!!!!
@disco maulvi: Everyone is worse than Immy, let me tell YOU
Maulana Diesel will know what public thinks in Election 2013 :D
He can wear a suit and tie if you will elect him Prime Minister.
Enough said.
FR is an agent of satan. He, in the name is Islam sucking the blood of pakistani people. what has he done to stop the drones? He has no credibility. It is people like Maulana who have been exploiting pakistani people. when will He stop playing with the minds of pakistani people. He needs to stop now because it is getting too late. Does he understand the whole concept of human rights aside from politics. He is sickening. I am all for Imran Khan in this matter of using his influence for the purpose of stoping drones. some one in the right mind could only think the way Imran khan is thinking. FR should also do something about the drones and not criticize a human gesture.
FR is a joke. We need to be sincere toward pakistan not politics. People come people go but pakistan will remain good in the hands of good people. What has Maulana done for pakistan so far. FR hasn't done anything so for but to fillful his desire to get wealthy. He is even more worst not. Imran khan I believe he has a heart for Pakistani people and pakistan. I feel Imran khan is sincere he speaks his mind. He is honest educated man with a vision for Pakistan and some people are having a hard time believing it because people like Imran khan are not easy to come by.
2013 to 2018 another hung parliament, thank you Imran Khan...
@saima: " I personally like him, but I think he needs more time to evolve and mature." At his age people retire from professional job after long and successful careers. Yet he needs more time to evolve and mature! Are you saying some boys never grow up even when they are 60? Cheers, Mirza
I hope maulana sahib or abdul ghafoor haideri do read these public comments. 'Sunn to sahi jahan main hai tera fasana kiya -kehti hai tujh ko khalq-e-khuda ghaibana kiya'
i am sorry but molana saab is feeling the heat...
Maulana Diesel really needs a reality check! A representative of Pakistan and Islam? Riiiight. Maulana sahib, the people of Pakistan think you are entirely irrelevant, nothing more, but perhaps less! The height of munafiqat. What a joke!
Very true - both indeed are the same!!!
I believe Maulana is an amazing person, he atleast acts upon Muslim acts. People make scandals. Maybe he didn't steal the petrol. I used to be a big fan of Imran Khan untill he stopped talking about cutting the curroption, became friends with he said he wouldn't, played a one man game though pretended to have a huge team.
Ultimately both are same!
Wasn't he the one who extracted a lot of plots/land from Musharraf in exchange for passing the very unconstitutional LFO
remember wiki leaks? not so long someone was licking the shoes of american and asked them to make me president? Moulana?
What the Maulana is forgetting that Imran and his supporters were threatened to be served with suicide bombers and not sweets but even that did not deter him to cancel the peace march.
Imran Khan is not an agent of the USA. I personally like him, but I think he needs more time to evolve and mature. Until then, my vote will go to MQM. But Fazlur Rehman is a complete joke.
When will our religious leaders learn positive politics? We agree for a moment with Maulana sahib that Imran does not know politics, Pakistani culture and he, according to Maulana, is the agent of Jews and West, but Maualna sahib is a mature and respected religious leader. But when he speaks like this, he will loose his credibility. please stop this.
As an agent islam, what actions has his party taken to stop the drones which r killing innocent muslims?.. So shouldnt he be lobbying the govt by using his political experience n influence to bring an end to this illegal war??
"The people of Pakistan think of me as a representative of Islam and Pakistan,"
hhahahahhah God I can't stop laughing pure gold maulana pure gold LOL. Hum sab umeed se hain can have maulana as host LOL
Mullah Fazal feels threatened when PTI is encroaching on his voters. Fazal has a good following among rightwing ideologues in northern Pakistan where IK is competing for the same block of voters. Fazal and IK both need each other during the next elections. PTI cannot do much without the support of at least one extreme rightwing party. They would have to ally either with JI or JUI, no doubt about it.
I consider myself as conservative, and I think of Fazlur Rehman as a big time hypocrite. Imran Khan may not e perfect but atleast he has a good record when it comes to achievements. Atleast he's trying to do something for the country. This mulla should be stoned for saying he's a representative of Islam! It's because of him Islam can never be implemented in this country! Hypocrites!
I am totally astonished!!! This Fraud molanna is one of the biggest hypocrites of our time. He won't serve good to the country and wouldn't let others to do good as well. Why can't these self-professed "contractors of Islam" let others do something positive? There will a special cell in Jahanum for people like Fraud Molanna who use Islam for the sake of their own benefit. Shame, shame, shame...
@usman786: if this is true, then Maulana must clear his position. Any statement from his party that he is not involved in this SCAM.
Establishment is quite comfortable with present setup and they want this setup to continue for next five years. Establishment want PML(N) in Punjab, ANP in KP, ‘Sardars’ in Balochistan and PPP + MQM in Sindh, everyone happy, everyone on job, it’s just like driving a car in fog, full concentration no future plans. PTI ensure that this setup will continue for next five years, who care for common people, they’re just common people.
What has this Maulana done for the common man ? Other than pass useless comments about someone, who has done a lot for the disadvantaged of society. What qualifies this Maulana to critique Imran Khan ? Not a single Pakistani politician should have the nerve to criticise Imran, a man who has built a state of the art Cancer Hospital which serves the poor and a top college for boy's / girls.
Ask the Maulana what has he done ? Why does the media give useless politicians like the Maulana a forum ? He is nothing but a quarte back, arm chair critic. Pakistanis should NEVER elect politicians to elected office like this useless Maulana, who indulge in negative, irresponsible behaviour, which borders on ignorance and imature behaviour. Such people will NEVER do anything for the masses. This Maulana should stay in the mosque and hopefully gives positive sermons. Does anybody think this Maulana represents progress and prosperity for the poor ?
Liberals label him Taliban Khan Maulana calls him Jewish/ CIA agent
Kaptaan is a true son of Pakistan, he is 100% hero
FR says "The people of Pakistan think of me as a representative of Islam".....liar liar liar, we the people of Pakistan are sick of your name, in fact you are an American stooge and brought shame to the name of Islam and Pakistan.
but you know that you are not the representative. True?
A joker- just like IK.
As`along as we have people like F who exploit Islam for their very narrow and selfish motives, we will never achieve a true democracy and a true Islamic Society. People must shun him and likes of him from national politics.
Haha Maulana the biggest culprit in the name of Islam. You really think people are that foolish? Jaal gaya burnol lagaye. IK has proven once again to be the only true leader in this country !!
Maulana Fazlur Rehman is a disgrace .I wonder why people vote for him
@ Zee. I think you are misguided. Please don't dwarf our national hero (IK). If a Pakistani is doing something good, let's support him for a change.
Look at this master of munafiqs, who has never followed the path of righteousness, because there are no immediate gains for him.
He is to Islam what Imran is to West. Both are hypocrites.
Representative of Islam??Yeah yeah! it was somebody else and not you who met Hillary Clinton to become the PM of Pakistan......
Since I think both are 'western agents', you, the reader has the right to think that 'I' am also a 'western agent' which undoubtedly makes you (the reader) a 'western agent' at the first place. :P
Maulana can be considered only as a Munafiq who has no principles or ethics and uses politics to mint profits as he did during so called jehad when he was involved in blackmarketing of diesel. He has never followed the principles of Islam and has no credibility. Even now he is actually on payrolls of the sitting government but sits on the opposition, yet votes for the teasury.
How does that old Bollywood dialogue go? Choron ko sare nazar aye chor, that is pretty much the gist of things in Pakistan. Everyone fears being tread upon and losing their financial assets and interests to upstarts.
@ Zee You might be looking from a wrong angle
Maulan is extremely upset as establishment has replaced him with IK
Then why u plunder wealth esp getting 1000 arce land on your nephews name from army
To me you are a representative of Munafiqeen!
I'm not a fan of Imran Khan, but given his political history, Fazlur Rehman does not have enough integrity to even shine Imran Khan's shoes, let alone have such comments be taken seriously.
I wonder who's dubbed "Maulana Diesel" for smuggling petroleum products across the Durand Line.
Mr diesel has every right to protest on IK for interferring in maulana's exclusive domain of religion business.hoho-every thing is fair in war and love!
and the people of pakistan think of moulana sahib as diesel choor.
Look who is talking.
Why we should consider him as an agent of Islam? What are his services for Islam? In fact, by his bad practices he always implicate himself in corruption scandals.
