MOHALI, March 12: Pakistan captain Inzamamul Haq whose side pulled off a sensational draw in the first cricket Test on Saturday was likely to visit his ancestral house near Char Qutab Dargaah in the town of Hasni where his grandfather once used to be in charge.
Reports said that Inzamam’s grandfather Ziaul Haq was the pir of the Dargaah and used to live in a haveli located near Gol Kothi and the area surrounding it was called the Peer Mohalla with 14 families of the Pir settled there.
Residents of this town were eagerly awaiting Inzamam’s arrival, who has expressed his desire to pay a visit.
At the time of partition, Inzamam’s father Intezamul Haq moved to Pakistan and their haveli was allotted to a Bhutan family.
Several houses have now been built on the premises of the old haveli.
The head of the Bhutani family, Charanjit Bhutani recalled the Intezam visited the town in 1962 to attend an Urs at the Dargaah.
“He came to see his old house and spent some time with us,” he said.
One of the members of the Bhutani family met Inzamam this week in Mohali where the first Test was played and invited him to visit his ancestral town.
Inzamam was said to be keen on visiting Hasni, provided the security concerns allowed him to do so.
