 Jamiat-Ulema-e-Islami Fazl (JUI-F) Chief Fazlur Rehman said that the government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) will soon end and the “agenda of the Goldsmith” will be buried after the August 22 by-election, Express News reported on Saturday.

The statement was made in response to Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s earlier statement stating that there was no need for a Jewish agent in Rehman’s presence.

Speaking to PTI supporters at a rally in Lakki Marwat on Saturday, he said, “When he is here, there is no need for a Jewish agent”.


The two party leaders had been at loggerheads since the time of the elections with both of them attempting to undermine each other’s credibility in their public addresses to the people.

On May 14, Rehman had called on his supporters to take out street protests against the election results in K-P which he claimed were rigged. He had refused to accept the mandate of PTI, that had emerged as the leading party in the polls.

Earlier on May 4, Imran had said in his address to a rally in Swabi that Fazlur Rehman was levying accusations on the PTI Chairman’s character because he wanted to “fool the nation”.

“People like Rehman should stop selling religion to get votes,” Imran had said, while warning him to “prepare for a political death.”
