There is a woman, whom she calls aunt and the woman saved the life of Inzamam’s family at the time of partition in 1947. When the country was being divided, Inzamam’s family lived in Hisar, a Hindu family lived in his neighborhood.

The father of Pakistan’s former Pakistan cricketer and coach, Inzamam -ul -Haq, moved to Pakistan after partition, but in Hisar, he had a relationship with his neighboring family that he could never forget. This Hindu family protected and helped him. When Inzamam visited India, he found this family and got a Hindu aunt.

The family of Intjam ul Haq is still thankful to him, who helped to protect his family during partition and also helped to cross the border.

According to a report published in Dawn, when Inzam came to India a few years ago, he met a person from Haryana, who gave Inzamam a telephone number which belonged to his mother Pushpa Goyal. The person said that you should give this number to your family.

Special call came for Inzamam -ul -Haq’s wedding

Inzamam sent this number to his father, then immediately his father spoke to Pushpa Goyal. He did not forget Pushpa, who sheltered his family at the time of partition. At this time people were against each other on the basis of religion.

Inzamam ul Haq’s father lived in Hansi in Hisar district. When Inzamam was married, Pushpa was called special. He then told that after getting married, he felt as if his house was married. He described the journey to Multan as memorable.
