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.”

My god ET, is so anti pti,its unbelievable,,so pro mqm,its like ET is being paid a good hefty cut from all the bhatta gathered by mqm thugs..shame on you ET..
When will your agenda get buried-----forever
Why FR is against IK is not hard to guess. FR was making people fool by using religion, IK has showed the real face of FR to people so this is the reason of huge hue and cry.
@Ch Allahdad
Your very own 'bearded Imran Khan' is in alliance with your leader Mian Nawaz (Noora) Sharif, a match made in heaven; isn't it?
Nawaz Sharif played smart and sidelined the so called Maulana...............and Imran Khan in his funbling-bumbling style has done exactly the opposite. The Maulana is playing Imran Khan like a violin.
Sore loser, time to accept that people wanted change so zip it and let someone do some good. Let people decide who is who!!
ET only publishes slective comments so no point in making any commenst if the forum is one sided
To both the honorable(??) men, " tujhay paraiy ki kya pari tu apni nabair".
Sharif family is doing bad politics while using <Mr Fazau ur rehamn to counter Imarn khan fame among population.
@Black: "Both need to be banned and exiled to afghanistan" . It will be like coming home. Both claim to be Pakhtuns.
@Z: Everyone who criticizes Imran Khan isn't a nooner.
Molana Sahib is sounding more and more hilarious day by day ............Lolz
who is goldsmith? Anyone tell me his full name so that i can read about him on wikipedia! Thanks
two faces of same coin or what ever it is said. AIK SIKHY KA 2 RUKH ,,,,,,,,i dont know much about English
Moulana Sahib,....Who is going to burry the agenda of your friends TTP and export of Diesel to Afghanistan???????
wow ET! not a single heading on Egypt? Bravo? You are going too far in your loyalty.
By calling each other members of the Jewish lobby, the Jews of the world are insulted. They have better taste then the 2-characters at each other loggerhead.
Maulana sahib what u know about Imran khan he is the one who brought third impire in the cricket and he is gonna be the one who will cleans out the every crrupt and emotion player in the politics of Pakistan with genrals kernals etc. god willing.
As a responsible, national-level politician with a real chance at forming the central government at some point in the future, Imran Khan should rise above this petty, childish fight with the maulana. It's beneath him.
@ali ahmed: Regardless of being in government or not, he's been in public life for 40 years. Anyone who can stay clean for 40 years deserves our respect.
@Ch. Allah Daad: A tiny bit of intelligence is required to understand why they are against each other, which unfortunately Nooners don't have.
I am ok with "GoldSmith " , it can't be worse than "Diesel" agenda. !!!
@sunum...his track record is clean b/c he was never in govt before...wait for 5 yrs then you can assess is track record..
Let the Jews decide who they prefer between the two.
They are certainly not two versions of the same persona. One is a thoroughly corrupt maulana who peddles religion and exploits it. The other, for all his faults, is clean and has a track record of achievement in whatever field he has chosen.
FR should explain whats the reason his voice is full of venom. IK should hold an independent inquiry against the corruption and land grabbing done during FR tenure. This is the only way he will stop otherwise he will keep maligning IK to serve his personal hatred and goals.
Maulana sahib, If he wins will you bury your hatchet?
Fazlu Have ras gulla and relax
ET being hijacked by anti pti folks
they read ET and then ask what pti has done in kpk
let me tell you my friend ET will never never publish anything positive about PTI govt.
And this is coming from a pti fan who openly criticizes the wrong things being done by the party
Both need to be banned and exiled to afghanistan
Will no one rid us of this meddlesome Tartuffe .
This is like two rivals fighting over the the affections of the same person.
Taliban must be very happy for all the attention.
They are like children in a playground.
This gentleman is a bearded version of Imran Khan. Cannot understand why they are against each other?
