TALIBAN regime foreign minister of Afghanistan, Amir Khan Muttaqi, on Saturday, visited one of the biggest Islamic seminaries in Asia - Darul Uloom in Deoband, of Saharanpur district, western UP as part of his six-day trip to India.
The Taliban leader's visit to Deoband, however, goes beyond politics. Muttaqi participated in a scholarly session where he studied a Hadith (Prophetic tradition) under Maulana Mufti Abul Qasim Nomani inside the seminary's central library.
