These revelations have come out in the recently published travel book of Egypt, ‘Msirkhawab aur Tabeer’. The author of the book, Dr Zahid Munir Amir, has been teaching at Al-Azhar University for a long time. Before this, his Arabic book ‘Fi Hab-e-Misr’ has been published about the Muslim Brotherhood.
