Munawar Hasan joined the party in 1967, and was elected as the fourth ‘Ameer’ or head of Jamat-e-Islami in 2009 – a post from which was ousted from after the party’s overwhelmingly poor performance in 2013 General Elections.
Munawar Hasan passed away on Friday, June 26. He was being treated at Imam Clinic Hospital Karachi, and was even put on ventilator as his health deteriorated.
He was laid to rest in Karachi’s Sakhi Hasan graveyard.
