July 10, 2021
Jamaat-e-Islami chief Sirajul Haq expressed his concern over a reported life attempt on renowned religious scholar Mufti Taqi Usmani after he called on the latter in Karahci on Friday.
A man, later overpowered and handed over to police, had reportedly taken out a dagger when he was seeking a meeting with the scholar.
Haq inquired after Mufti Usmani’s health and discussed a number of matters of mutual interest.
During the meeting, the two sides discussed the prevailing political situation, the government's policies towards religious seminaries, the Financial Action Task Force-related legislation, and the bill allegedly targeting the family system in the name of legislation against torture in families.
