Maulana Samiul Haq’s help sought to end Afghan war

AVA- Maulana Samiul Haq runs a religious school, the Haqqania seminary in the town of Akora Khattak in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which borders Afghanistan. Many Taliban figures studied there. Haq’s seminary says he met with the Afghan representatives Monday night. Haq told the Afghan representatives he also wishes to see an “end to Jihad, end to bloodshed and freedom of Afghanistan with supremacy of Islam”. He suggested a secret meeting between Afghan religious leaders and the Taliban, “without the US and Pakistan’s interference”. The Afghan delegation included former governor of Nangarhar province, Ataullah Lodin, government peace committee member Qasim Haleemi and others.
