Isar ul Haq Qasmi (who died in 1991) was a Pakistani Islamic cleric, preacher and a member of Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan. He had been member of the National Assembly of Pakistan between 1990 and 1993 representing Jhang constituency.
Born in 1964 to a family which migrated from Ambala and settled in Samundri, Punjab, at the Partition, with a father who worked in the Middle East for years (like many SSP members), he was educated in three madrasas in Lahore, and at first went for a business career but then decided to become khatib (preacher) in an Okara mosque from 1985 onward, where he also established a madrasa, and he would soon gain a reputation for his clashes with the local police, before moving to Jhang at the request of Haq Nawaz Jhangvi, to preach in one of the market-towns of the district.[1]
He was elected to the National Assembly of Pakistan as a candidate of Islami Jamhoori Ittehad (IJI) in the 1990 Pakistani general election.[2] He received 62,486 and defeated Nawab Amanullah Khan Sial of Pakistan Democratic Alliance (PDA).[2]
He was killed in 1991 during a by-election in Jhang.[3]
