Dr. Haq also claimed that he is in contact with Yaqub as recently talk to him.

On the other hand, if a statement by the deputy speaker of the Afghan national assembly is to be believed, in which he claimed citing a trustworthy insider, who told him that Mullah Yaqub had looked forward to succeed his father as leader of the Afghan Taliban.
