NOWSHERA: At the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Sami (JUI-S) Central Council meeting held at Jamia Darul Uloom Haqqania in Akora Khattak on Monday, Maulana Abdul Haq Sani, son of the late Hamid-ul-Haq Haqqani, was selected as the party’s central emir, according to a story published by The News.
During the meeting, which was attended by members from all four provinces, Maulana Abdul Haq was appointed as the party chief by consensus.
Following the martyrdom of his father, Maulana Hamid-ul-Haq Haqqani, in a suicide bombing at the mosque within the Jamia Darul Uloom Haqqania on February 28 that also claimed the lives of seven others, the leadership position fell vacant.
