Nawaz Sharif will be gutted. Now BB and Altaf should attend this APC. ![]()
The British High Commission in Islamabad has denied visa to the hardline Muslim senator and chief of the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam, Maulana Samiul-Haq. Dubbed “the father of the Taliban” because many Taliban, including Mullah Omar, were schooled in a madrassa he ran, Haq had applied for the visa to attend the multi-party conference scheduled to be held in London this month. A press release issued in Peshawar on Sunday said the High Commission had given Maulana Haq a charge sheet and even barred him from filing an appeal against the decision. The party has requisitioned a meeting of the Standing Committee of the house to discuss the issue, it said.
In 2005, the European parliament refused entry to Maulana Samiul-Haq which sparked a diplomatic row between Islamabad and the European Union.
