Position fell vacant following demise of former emir Professor Sajid Mir on May 3
Islamabad: Hafiz Abdul Karim has been elected as the new emir of the Markazi Jamiat Ahle Hadith (JAH).
Politician was elected unopposed after the position fell vacant following the demise of former emir Professor Sajid Mir on May 3.
The PML-N has nominated Hafiz Abdul Karim, who was earlier the secretary-general of JAH, as its candidate for the Senate seat which fell vacant after the demise of Prof Mir.
According to a PML-N press release, party president Nawaz Sharif offered the Senate seat to Prof Mir’s son, Ahmad Mir, but he declined the offer. The PML-N then nominated Karim for the vacant Senate seat.
