  "summary": "Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had a telephone call with Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Saturday. According to a statement from the Prime Minister's Office, Shehbaz congratulated Fazl on performing Umrah and invited him to meet at the Prime Minister's House, which Fazl accepted.\n\nThe conversation also touched on easing tensions between the federal government and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government. The talks come amid rising tensions over the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) march on Islamabad, with PTI supporters already on the streets in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa since October 4.\n\nAccording to Business Recorder, both the government and PTI have approached Maulana Fazl to play a mediating role to help resolve their political differences, with Fazl reportedly setting certain conditions before taking up the task.",
