Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) deputy chief and former federal minister Maulana Attaur Rehman said Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) should open offices at the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) chief minister’s house and in Bani Gala, Islamabad.
Addressing a news conference at the Peshawar Press Club on Thursday, his sarcastic remarks came in response to PTI chief Imran Khan’s statement suggesting the TTP to set up a ‘political office’ in Pakistan. Bani Gala is where Imran Khan resides in Islamabad.

Rehman said the party is preparing for the local body elections and a meeting to this end was held at the JUI-F secretariat chaired by Maulana Jalil Jan. “The party has fully authorised the district leadership to make seat adjustments deemed necessary with any political party,” he added.
He said by-election results in Tank and Lakki Marwat were not accepted by his party and they have informed the Election Commission of Pakistan about this.

@saim, pretty funny you say that. Because everyone expects from politics from Maulana and no one expects him to be an angel. On other hand, it is PTI which is being more exposed by the day. Even you can't deny it hence the funny remark on Maulana.
