Talking to reporters, JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, after holding a meeting with a PTI delegation led by the opposition leader in National Assembly Omar Ayub, at his residence, said that “the JUI-F and the PTI should join hands for common goals, on which both parties have a similar viewpoint inside and outside the parliament.”

Rehman said that if PTI and JUIF could not end their differences, they could – at least – normalize their attitudes toward each other as some of the things need to be ignored to achieve a common goal which is of mutual interest for both sides.
