ISLAMABAD, Nov 29 (APP): JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and Ausaf Publications head Mehtab Khan visited the residence of late PML-N leader and veteran journalist Irfan Siddiqui on Saturday to offer condolences to his family. They offered Fateha for the departed soul.
During the meeting, Maulana Fazlur Rehman praised Siddiqui’s scholarly depth, literary brilliance, and political insight, noting that his creativity and intellectual contributions secured him a distinguished place among Pakistan’s leading thinkers and writers.
Irfan Siddiqui, Maulana said, disagreed with grace, politeness, and reasoning — a rare voice of balance and civility.
Former federal minister Maulana Asad Mehmood also present.
Meanwhile, Mehtab Khan, head of Ausaf Publications, visited the residence of the late Irfan Siddiqui, accompanied by senior columnist Allama Naveed Masood Hashmi. He extended condolences to Imran Siddiqui and Dr Nauman Siddiqui on the passing of their father.
Mehtab Khan described Irfan Siddiqui as a man of strong principles, noting that his outlook and ideas were rooted in a deep love for Allah and His Messenger, Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him). He said Siddiqui used his pen with integrity and that the void left by ideological figures such as Majid Nizami and Irfan Siddiqui can never be filled.
Irfan Siddiqui’s sons, Imran Siddiqui and Dr Nauman Siddiqui, expressed gratitude to those who visited to offer their condolences.
Renowned spiritual figure Pir Agha Ji Sarkar led a collective prayer on the occasion, while Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s speechwriter, Arshad Malik, was also present.
