آپ ضلع خوشاب کے قصبے نور پور تھل میں یکم اکتوبر 1949ء میں پیدا ھوئے. آپ کے والد کاشتکار تھے. پنجاب یونیورسٹی سے قانون کا امتحان پاس کر نے کے بعد آپ نے جوہر آباد اور سرگودھا میں وکالت شروع کر دی. 1987ء میں آپ ایڈیشینل سیشن جج مقرر ھوئے. 2008ء میں آپ ھائی کورٹ کے جج بن گئے. آپ ممبر انسپکشن ٹیم ھائی کورٹ بھی رھے. آپ ڈائریکٹر جنرل اینٹی کرپشن پنجاب بھی رھے. آپ کو بلدیاتی حلقہ بندیوں سے متعلق ایپلٹ ٹربیونل کا سربراہ بھی مقرر کیا گیا. آپ کے متعلق کالم نگار سلیمان کھوکھر نوائے وقت اخبار میں لکھتا ھے " آپ کی دیانت داری، دلیری، معاملہ فہمی، نظم و ضبط اور قانون پر دسترس کے قصے زبان زد عام تھے. ... مجھے بغاوت کے مقدمے میں ضمانت قبل از گرفتاری کروانے کے لیے کاظم علی ملک کی عدالت جانا پڑا تو معلوم ھوا کہ جو کچھ سنا سچ سنا تھا. ... ایسی آن بان، شان و شوکت اور نکتہ رس جج دیکھ کر پتہ چلا کہ سیشن جج کس چیز کا نام ھے...... چھریرا بدن، درمیانی مونچھیں، درمیانہ قد،گفتگو کا انداز قطعی کیا. ..... خوبصورت اور دلچسپ سراپا تھا کاظم علی ملک صاحب کا. "
بطور جج الیکشن ٹربیونل پنجاب آخری دھماکہ خیز فیصلہ حلقہ نمبر 122 کا تھا کہ حلقے میں دوبارہ انتخاب کروایا جائے. جس نے ملکی سیاست میں ہلچل مچا دی. صرف لاہور میں فیصلے کے روز ایک کروڑ کی مٹھائی بانٹی گئی اور یوں سردار ایاز صادق نہ ھی قومی اسمبلی کے ممبر رہے اور نہ ھی سپیکر. .... اس فیصلے کے بعد حکومتی وزراء رانا ثناءاللہ اور پرویز رشید نے آپ کو برا بھلا اور دھمکیاں دینی شروع کر دیں. کاظم نے کے گجر خون بے جوش مارا اور آپ نے کہا ..... " " کسی کا دباؤ مجھ پر اثر انداز نہیں ھو سکتا. مجھ پر دباؤ ڈالنے والا ابھی پیدا ھی نہیں ھوا." آپ نے کہا وفاقی وزیر اطلاعات پرویز رشید نے مجھے جان سے مارنے کی دھمکی دی ھے. جس پر کالم نگار سلیمان کھوکھر لکھتا ھے ... "غلیل والے " بچے پرویز رشید نے ان کے خلاف جو گھٹیا زبان استعمال کی ھے اور بے پناہ دروغ گوئی سے کام لے کر کاظم علی ملک کے قد میں اضافہ کر دیا ھے." دراصل سلیمان کھوکھر نے یہ کہا ھےکہ غلیل والے بچے پرویز رشید تجھے تو غلیل چلانی نہیں آتی .... تو کیا گجر پر پستول لے کر حملہ آور ھو گا. کالم نگار ڈاکٹر اجمل نیازی اس پر اپنے کالم میں لکھتا ھے. .... " کہ پرویز رشید ایک چوہے کو قتل نہیں کر سکتا. " ..... دوسرے لفظوں میں یہ اس طرح ھے ..... " کہ تیری اتنی جرآت کہ تو گجر کو دھمکی دے ...... توں تو چوہا بھی مار نہیں سکتا. ..... توں گجر کو مارے گا. "

Chaudhary Anwer Aziz



Chaudhary Anwer Aziz claims he is a retired politician. Well, politicians don’t retire. Chaudhary Aziz-definitely not. He may have passed on his Shakargarh constituency to son, Daniyal Aziz but politics remains the lifeblood that keeps him kicking even at the ripe age of 82. Ripe because, at 82, who else can swim 24 lengths in a row and drive from that last corner of Pakistan, Shakargarh, to Islamabad, sometimes at the speed of 120 km per hour on GT Road. Then return to Lahore the next morning after a late wholesome sitting with friends who may comprise a strange mix. You will find in his company the choicest journalists, politicians, intellectuals and then a ‘Shakargaria’ clerk or a watchman who may have dropped by to say Salaam. You can rest assure that the watchman will always get equal respect if not more.

Discussion on such evenings swings from politics to philosophy to anything that flows with the mood but one always gets up feeling a little wiser--or tipsy. One can’t tell the difference sometimes though. It usually ends up with Chaudhary Saheb, as we call him affectionately, reciting poetry and concluded by a cherry on top—a singing session of Mian Mohammad Baksh’s Saiful Malook.

I am always impressed by his zest for life. He lives a wholesome life that a few can claim. Details of the 24 hours that I spent with him to attend a wedding in Karachi should explain. He literally dragged me to swimming the moment we checked-in at Beach Luxury. A small ferry waited for us at the hotel wharf that took us to deep sea ‘crabbing.’ You could trust Chaudhary Saheb, a good chef that he is, for quality cooking. After a moon-lit breezy evening at sea we went to the mehndi ceremony. Once there, he took the lady of the House to the dance floor. The whole party, as always, revolved around him—dancing, singing and laughing at his jokes. The night did not end before he made me watch, once again, the film “Scent of a Woman,” just to prove a point of discussion that Al Pachino makes in his speech at the end—not to mention his tango as a blind man. Before we flew back he made sure that we, among other things, had Karachi’s famous Burns Road nihari. This was more than what some people do in a lifetime. And it’s always this way that he lives his day.

It’s not because of material luxuries actually. It’s his attitude. Nothing is ordinary for him. He will make a simple food seem as a sumptuous cuisine by garnishing it with a sauce, salad or a lassi and then having it on rooftop under winter sunshine. He prefers GT Road over the Motorway in travelling because it has a soul. It’s called as the ‘Royal journey.’ It has all the ingredients of a picnic; the holy water, holier music and, of course, the holiest discussion. The climax comes at Jhelum River where we eat the best Mahasher fish that his jail mate from the Martial Law days, Babbu Khan, always keeps on the side.

His modest demeanor and inquisitiveness for information can be deceptive to the naïve who often take him for a country cousin—basically paindoo. His rapt attention usually encourages the immodest variety to brag a little extra. That’s a mouse-trapper. The moment Chaudhary makes a small observation, quoting Toynbee, Gibbons or Machiavelli’s Prince that he remembers word by word, the other person realizes the vastness of his knowledge and wisdom. It’s always enjoyable for the people who know where the ‘mouse’ is headed.

The range of his interest is exceptionally vast—swinging from Beethoven to soybeans to bio gas. He is perhaps one of the few living Pakistanis who may have the credentials to claim expertise on such a broad spectrum of issues. Fewer have lived the rich life that he has led. Chaudhary saw the trauma of the Partition in his teens. He was groomed by teachers like Sufi Tabassam, Pitras Bokhari, Dr Nazir at the Government College, Lahore. His peers at the GC represented the cream of northern India. Chaudhary lived in the very hostel room where Allama Iqbal stayed. His life-long friends from Iqbal Hostel, to name a few, included Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s Military Secretary, the late Major General Imtiaz, Abid Ali Shah, the guru of public relations who had the honour to introduce singer Mohammad Rafi to Bombay, scholar Dr Anwaar Syed and the famous ‘Defender of Lahore,’ Shafqat Baloch who as major deterred two Indian divisions with just two companies in the 1965 war.

Chaudhary represented Pakistan as a swimmer in 1948 Olympics. I saw his friends Shoaib and Saleema Hashmi do this skit about him in a New York ballroom fund-raiser. It describes the announcement of medals. “The bronze goes to England, silver to Canada, gold to Australia and Pakistan’s Chaudhary Anwer Aziz still swimming.” He affectionately curses Shoaib every time the joke is narrated.

He went on a Fulbright Scholarship to Michigan University in the 1950s, where he met his wife Kathleen, and later became District Attorney of California. From those lofty heights, he flew back straight to his village in Shakargarh which in those days did not even have a toilet, let alone a toilet paper that Kathleen was used to. Kathy aunty, as everybody called her, laced her English with chaste Punjabi. The Shakargarhias loved the couple living in their midst—a maim helping them in daily chores in Punjabi. They expressed their fondness by voting the Chaudhary to power time and again.

Chaudhary is perhaps the only living member from the 1964 Assembly, winning against the will of the ruthless Nawab of Kalabagh, the second person being Chaudhary Zahoor Elahi. He became Federal Minister in the Cabinets of Prime Ministers Zulfiqar Bhutto and Mohammad Khan Junejo. The credit for giving Ziaul Haq his first shock by defeating his candidate for Speakership, Khawaja Safdar, in the 1985 National Assembly goes largely to the Chaudhary. Junejo’s defiance against the dictator could also be partially attributed to Chaudhary. A whole generation of journalists such as Nusrat Javed, Shaheen Sehbai, Mohmmad Malick, Zafar Abbas and myself, has learnt the ropes of politics from him. He is equally sought by the younger lot of Rauf Klasra, Arshad Sharif and Asma Shirazi and the grandies such as Munoo Bhai, Abbas Athar and Nazir Naji.

It’s a treat when he is around. His literary credentials are no less. He was the host when Mustafa Zaidi was introduced by Sufi Tabussam as Tegh Allahabadi who then recited his famous poem Tarash-i-Aazrana for the first time. Jalib considered his house as his second home. So did Jafar Tahir, whose long epic poem ‘Wapsi’ we always insist him to recite. Intellectuls Ismat Alig lived in his house for years and he was close to the firebrand orators Abdullah Butt and Shorish Kashmiri, writer Abdullah Malik, painter Sadeqain, Punjabi poets Imam Din Gujrati and Sharif Kunjahi. He discussed political theory with scholar Samuel Huntington and hosted the Kennedys, Henry Kissinger, Yasir Arafat, among others, as a Protocol Minister. If this is not enough reason to envy him, our generation particularly, what is?

But I respect Chaudhary Sahib more because of his love for the common man. He is constantly thinking about what he can do for the poor and the needy. Anybody who has ever met him will have a story to tell. Why-and-how-he-did-what kind of stories. How he always gave a hike to anybody who raised a hand while travelling; how he always paid money to every beggar who approached him; how he sat, ate or stood up--there was always this Chaudray style of doing things.

He pioneered milk pasteurization by introducing Tetrapack in Pakistan as Bhutto’s advisor on Livestock. We sometimes laugh about his passions but he is always up to something. He tried to improve the economy of commoners by distributing Angora rabbits, known for their long and soft wool. He tried schemes to promote cows, goats and vegetables. He distributed the newly arrived Broiler chickens among his people hoping they will return eggs, thus starting a chain to boost their economy and poultry. Some did and most did not. But this did not stop him from bringing sacks full of new seeds that he distributed for free. He spent years promoting cheaper soya milk as he believes the ‘robber barons’ will let the price of milk come down and that normal milk cannot fulfil the nutrition requirement of Pakistan. Many of his may not have worked but this has not deterred him. He is now busy devising ways to cure brackish water through solar energy. How do you draw your energy, I asked him once. “From the poor people in Shakargarh,” pat came the response.

“Shakargarh, Shakargarh, Shakargarh—I am sick of hearing this from Chaudhary Anwer Aziz all my life,” this is how Abbas Athar started his column on him. And this is what defines him. I have not seen a politician who is as much in love with his voters—actually people he considers as his extended family--as Chaudhary is. Last time when I we had the ‘royal journey’ he was so proud to show me the trees on both sides of the road that leads from Narowal to Shakargarh. The only time I ever saw him bragging, spark in his eyes: “I grew them, many of them literally with my own hands.”

I had the privilege to play cards with the exclusive club of his childhood mates on Eid for many years. A stage came when we missed a member or two every year because of their death. Age, I suppose. We stopped praying for them as it turned the game into a condolence meeting. We had to stop the practice as the club came down to little, very little, two years ago. It has been my honour knowing him for almost a quarter of a century. May you live for 182 years, Chaudhary sahib. No retirement!

Edittor: Chaudhary Anwer Aziz has consented to do a blog for us where he will share his ideas with our viewers. This article explains the vastness of his expertise. We have named the blog as Baabay Di Gall. Considering his vigour, he is the last man to be called as Baaba but this is how people in Shakargarh address him affectionately.

Sardar Abdul Rehman Gojar



بابائے گجراں ھزارہ ڈویژن "سردار عبد الرحمن گجر صاحب "
آپ 2 جون 1929ء کو سردار محمد خان گجر کے ھاں ایبٹ آباد میں پیدا ھوئے. ابتدائی تعلیم گورنمنٹ اسلامیہ ھائی سکول ایبٹ آباد سے حاصل کی. اس زمانے میں میٹرک کا امتحان پنجاب یونیورسٹی کے زیرِ اہتمام ھوتا تھا. اس لئے سردار صاحب نے میٹرک کا امتحان پنجاب یونیورسٹی لاہور سے پاس کیا. سردار عبد الرحمن گجر صاحب نے تعلیم سے فراغت کے بعد آرمی میں جانے کی کوشش کی لیکن میڈیکل ٹیسٹ میں "بروکن چیسٹ" کی وجہ سے سلیکٹ نہ ھو سکے. اس کے بعد سیشن کورٹ ضلع ایبٹ آباد میں ملازمت اختیار کر لی. آپ کا برادری سے محبت کا واقعہ
" جب سردار صاحب گورنمنٹ اسلامیہ ھائی سکول ایبٹ آباد میں زیرِ تعلیم تھے تو اس وقت خواجہ محمد اقبال صاحب جو کہ سیالکوٹ کے رھنے والے تھے،وہاں ھیڈ ماسٹر تھے اور گجر تاریخ سے کافی حد تک واقف تھے. بشیر احمد سیکنڈ ھیڈ ماسٹر تھے. ایک دن انہوں نے سکول میں بچوں سے پوچھا کہ تم لوگ کس قبیلہ سے تعلق رکھتے ھو . سردار عبد الرحمن گجر صاحب کی کلاس میں گجر بچوں کی اکثریت تھی لیکن کچھ بچوں نے کچھ کہا اور کچھ نے کچھ. صرف سردار صاحب اور ان کے بھائی نے کہا کہ ھم " گجر قبیلہ " سے تعلق رکھتے ھیں. اس وقت صوبہ سرحد میں گجر کہلانا گالی سمجھا جاتا تھا. اس بات پر ھیڈ ماسٹر صاحب بہت خوش ھوئے کہ سردار صاحب اور ان کے بھائی نے سچ بولا ھے. اور دوسرے گجر بچوں کو کہا کہ اپنے قبیلے کا نام نہیں چھپاتے . اس لئے سکول کے زمانہ میں ھی وہ سردار صاحب کی عزت کرنے لگے اور انھیں ھمیشہ " گجر " کے نام سے ھی پکارتے. " آہستہ آہستہ یہ لفظ آپ کے نام کا حصہ بن گیا. سیشن کورٹ میں بھی آپ گجر کے نام سے ھی جانے جاتے. بلکہ آپ کی اولاد بھی گجر نام سے ھی پکاری جاتی. آپ کے صاحبزادے سردار وقار الملک گجر صاحب نے ضلع کچہری مانسہرہ میں سب پہلے اپنے لاء چیمبر پر لگے بورڈ پر نام کے ساتھ "گجر " لکھا. بلکہ آپ کچہری میں بھی گجر ھی کے نام سے جانے جاتے. 1985ء کے الیکشن میں سردار صاحب اور دوسرے احباب نے مل کر موجودہ وفاقی وزیر برائے مذہبی امور سردار محمد یوسف گجر کو آگے کیا. تمام دوستوں نے مل کر کوشش کی اور سردار محمد یوسف وہ الیکشن جیت گئے.

Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao

Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao (Pashto: أحمد أفتاب خان شرباو‎; Urdu: آفتاب احمد خان شیر پائو ‎) (born 20 August 1944)is the head of Qaumi Watan Party, and was the 35th Federal Interior Minister of Pakistan. Prior to this assignment he was working as the Federal Minister for Water and Power (WAPDA), Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Northern Areas and States & Frontier Regions (KANA & SAFRON) and Minister for Interprovincial Coordination. Sherpao has also served as the 14th and 18th Chief Minister of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.




Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao is one of Pakistan’s most senior and well known political leaders and the founding Chairman of Qaumi Watan Party. Mr. Sherpao has been at the forefront of Pakistani politics for four decades during which he has consistently been advocating greater autonomy for Pakistan’s provinces and struggling to protect the rights of its smaller ethnicities, in particular the Pashtun population of Pakistan. Due to his unfailing stance on the issues facing Pashtuns as well as his overall stature at the federal level, Mr. Sherpao is respectfully referred to as "Milli Rahbar" by his admirers and followers throughout the country.

Mr. Sherpao has held senior governmental offices at both the federal and provincial levels. He served as the Federal Interior Minister from 2004 to 2007 besides which he has held numerous portfolios in the Federal Cabinet including Minister for Water and Power, Minister for Kashmir Affairs & Northern Areas and States & Frontier Regions, Minister for Inter-Provincial Coordination, and Minister for Defence Production.

He has served as the chief executive of the Province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (previously known as the North West Frontier Province) twice having been elected as the Chief Minister in 1988 and then again in 1994. Prior to this he has also served as a Provincial Minister heading various departments including Industries, Minerals, Local Government and Rural Development.

Mr. Sherpao is internationally known as a vociferous advocate of improving Pak-Afghan ties and has been spearheading efforts to bring both countries closer for many years. In 2007, he was nominated as Chairman of the Pakistan-Afghanistan Joint Peace Jirga in Kabul, an initiative to bring together politicians, community leaders and notables to discuss peace and security between the two countries. This Jirga was widely considered a momentous effort for promoting peace between the two neighbouring countries. Mr. Sherpao continues to focus a lot of his time and political energy on Afghanistan. Amongst his numerous initiatives and efforts, he is the current Convener of the Pak-Afghan Parliamentary Friendship Group in the National Assembly.

Since actively entering politics in 1976, Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao has been elected to the National Assembly of Pakistan five times and the Provincial Assembly of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa seven times from various constituencies. He has also served as Leader of the Opposition in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, having been elected to this position on three occasions. Mr. Sherpao’s popularity within Pakistan is evidenced by the fact that he is the only politician from the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa who has been consistently elected to the National Assembly and/or the Provincial Assembly in every general election since 1976 (with the exception of the controversial 1985 election which Mr. Sherpao boycotted in protest).

As is the case with many leading figures in history, Mr. Sherpao’s entry into public life was a matter of necessity rather than choice. His older brother, Hayat Muhammad Khan Sherpao (Shaheed), was a young charismatic Pushtun political leader, former Governor and Minister, and founding member of the Pakistan Peoples Party. Hayat Muhammad Khan Sherpao’s promising political career ended prematurely when he was tragically martyred in a bomb blast in Peshawar in 1975. Hayat Sherpao’s assassination is considered a public tragedy in Pakistan and has since shaped the political landscape in Pakistan. His martyrdom was to serve as the inspiration of the Qaumi Watan Party and its revolutionary manifesto. In the wake of this national tragedy, Mr. Sherpao had to reluctantly end his military service of 12 years prematurely on the insistence of the then Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, who asked him to serve his country by entering the political arena.

In continuation of the legacy founded by his older brother, Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao served in the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) for over two decades. During this time he served under both Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and his daughter Benazir Bhutto and led the PPP to a plurality of successes in the NWFP. Under his leadership the PPP formed governments twice in NWFP, first in 1988 and then again in 1994. The PPP has never since achieved such success without him. Having served as Provincial President of the Pakistan Peoples Party for over 20 years, in recognition of his success and political stature, he was elevated as the Central Senior Vice-Chairman of the PPP. After the disappointing election results of 1997 for the PPP, Mr. Sherpao and Ms. Bhutto developed serious differences on certain principled stances taken by Mr. Sherpao, including inter alia his proposal for introducing reforms within the party to help them serve the masses in a better way. This ultimately led to the end of the long relationship between Mr. Sherpao and the PPP.

Months before the 2002 general election, Mr. Sherpao founded the Pakistan Peoples Party (Sherpao) (PPP(S)). The PPP(S) stuck to the socialist ideals of the original PPP co-founded by Hayat Muhammad Khan Sherpao and the guiding vision of Mr. Sherpao’s struggle to protect the rights of the smaller provinces and ethnicities of Pakistan. This party was to breathe new life into Pakistani politics as just months after its inception, it emerged as the second largest party in the NWFP Provincial Assembly. PPP(S) was subsequently renamed Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) in 2012 to more accurately reflect its neo-nationalist stance. Currently QWP is one of the largest political parties in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and retains a significant presence in the other federating units of Pakistan, in particular the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Balochistan.

Mr. Sherpao’s political success and struggle has come at a great cost. Due to his pro-democracy stance and being a key leader of the Movement for Restoration of Democracy (MRD), he was imprisoned multiple times by the military regime of General Zia-ul-Haq. This led to his unlawful incarceration for four years. Mr. Sherpao, who is a staunch advocate of peace in the region, has also been targeted by militants numerous times. Despite three deadly suicide bomb attacks and numerous other failed attempts, Mr. Sherpao refuses to curb his political activities and regularly attends public gatherings.

Prior to his illustrious political career, Mr. Sherpao served in the Pakistan Army after having graduated from the Pakistan Military Academy with the 34th Long Course in 1965 and joining the Armoured Corps in the Probyn’s Horse Regiment. During his brief military career he served in a number of capacities and received distinctions in various courses. Mr. Sherpao has the honour of having served his Country by engaging in active battle in two wars in 1965 and then again in 1971.

حضرت میاں محمد بخش رحمۃ اللہ علیہ آپ کے آباء و اجداد کا تعلق چک بہرام ضلع گجرات سے ھے . آپ کے نسب نامہ کے بارے میں مکمل آگاہی کسی کتاب سے نہیں ھوتی. لیکن اگر حقیقتاً دیکھا جائے تو اپ کے آباء و اجداد گجر پوسوال کہلاتے ھیں. جہاں تک آپ کے نسب کی تحقیق ھوئی ھے. اس کے مطابق آپ کا شجرہ نسب آپ کے پڑ دادا میاں دین محمد رحمۃ اللہ علیہ تک ملتا ھے. اس سے آگے کی تاریخ خاموش ھے. البتہ علاقہ کھڑی شریف کے مشہور و معروف بزرگ پیر پیرا غازی شاہ دمڑی والا کی نسبت روحانی سے بعض تذکرہ نگاروں کے مطابق آپ کا شجرہ نسب حضرت عمر فاروق رضی اللہ عنہ سے ھوتا ھوا حضور نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ و سلم سے جا کر ملتا ھے. وہ اس طرح کہ چونکہ پیر غازی شاہ دمڑی والے نے بذاتہ آپ کے پڑ دادا میاں دین محمد رح کو اپنے بیٹوں کی طرح پالا تھا. کیونکہ ان کی اپنی حقیقی کوئی اولاد نہ تھی. اسی لئے آپ کے پڑ دادا میاں دین محمد کو اپنا متبنی' اور وارث قرار دیتے ھوئے سجادہ نشینی ان کے حوالے کی تھی. اسی وجہ سے بعض لکھاریوں اور تذکرہ نگاروں نے آپ کا شجرہ نسب پیر غازی شاہ صاحب کی نسبت روحانی یا روحانی باپ کے حوالے سے آپ کا شجرہ نسب حضور اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ و سلم تک جا کر ملایا ھے جو کہ درست ھے. لیکن آپ کا تعلق گجر قبیلہ سے لکھنے سے گریز کرتے ھیں. حالا نکہ آپ کے تمام آباء و اجداد گجر کہلواتے ھیں. جو کہ درج ذیل سے واضح ھے " پروفیسر ڈاکٹر سید نصر امان جعفری جنھوں نے 1982ء میں آپ کی زندگی اور شاعری پر تحقیقی مقالہ لکھ کر پنجاب یونیورسٹی سے پی ایچ ڈی کی ڈگری حاصل کی تھی. ان کے بقول حضرت میاں محمد بخش رحمۃ اللہ علیہ کا تعلق صحابی رسول حضرت وجیہ کلبی رضی اللہ عنہ سے تھا. ان کی نسل کا کوئی فرد ھجرت کر کے جموں کے علاقے میں آ کر آباد ھو گیا تھا. اس طرح کئی نسلوں کے گزرنے کے بعد یہ پوسوال گجر جموں سے ھجرت کرکے ضلع جہلم کے علاقوں میں آ کر آباد ھوئے."

JaggaGujjar the most famous Gujjar of Lahore,


JaggaGujjar t he most famous Gujjar of Lahore, Pakistan. Jagga Gujjar of Chowburgi, Lahore who is remembered till today for imposing the notorious ‘Jagga Tax’ on Lahore, after his name. Specially the butcher’s (Qasai community) of Bakra Mandi in the late 1960s who paid one rupee on every goat to be cut.Nobody else even any Gujjar still cannot reach the height of his fear. His name was enough to pay respect and money too in easy translation “Naam hi kafi tha”. The status of Gujjar terror was always in Punjab but in real he took it to its peak and still Gujjars are enjoying this status. Afterwards him, his family started to make films on him which promote Gujjar’s publicity more and that was the first time to be made film on a real character, mostly Gujjar films are on real characters, such as WehshiGujjar, JaggaGujjar, Jagga Tax, Puttar Jaggay da,etc was made on him. 
His real name was Chaudhry Muhammad Sharif Gujjar. His“Jagga” was the name given by his mother. From a very early age, he wanted to be remembered Jagga Gujjar. His character was also famous as a portrayal of Robin Hood who always took care of poor people and distribute money among them and solve their problems. Whenever Buddha Gujjar, Jagga’s father, stops his horse carriage at a shop, people gather around him and sang praises of Jagga Gujjar to him. “Your son Jagga stopped a man from eve-teasing my sister,” says one. “Your son, Jagga, stopped a bootlegger from selling liquor,” says another. “Your son, Jagga, ensured that my husband returns home on time,” says a woman.His father was most big Deraydar of Lahore where people came for help and solution to their problems and disputes and he took decisions over them.“Chaudhry Budha Khan Raees Gujjar” was written on his Dera.
This was also true that the people in his neighborhood feared from Jagga Gujjar because he stopped young boys from eve-teasing and stopped others from bootlegging or selling narcotics,
Jagga Gujjar was jailed at the age of 14 for avenging the murder of his brother, Makhan Gujjar, at a mela in the year 1954. Jagga Gujjar killed the man who shot his brother eight days later. Holding Acha Shukerwala responsible for Makhan’s murder, Jagga Gujjar organised an attack on Shukerwala from his jail cell. Two of Shukerwala’s men died while Shukerwala was wounded in the attack.He also killed a man from Acha’s group in jail before he was released on early parole in 1968 at the age of 28. After getting released, he was married and in his marriage ceremony no coat was left to sit the heavy participants in the village.
Shukerwala was West Pakistan Governor Amir Muhammad Khan’s right-hand man, Shukerwala’s nephew is also a film maker whom office is located in Lahore’s film district, the Royal Park, opposite the Buddha Gujjar building, which is still owned by Jagga Gujjar’s family.
Shukerwala would act as an enforcer for Amir Muhammad Khan… if there was a public agitation against a price hike, Shukerwala would be called to enforce ‘law-and-order’… If a politician was raising his voice, Shukerwala would be asked to deliver a ‘warning’.
Amir Muhammad Khan, also the Nawab of Kalabagh, was in turn known as the right-hand man of then President Field Martial Ayub Khan. According to that the position was like whole government verses Jagga Gujjar.
Governor Musa Khan imposed the Goonda Act [1959] because of Jagga Gujjar’s action on Acha Shukarwala in the court. Acha Shukerwala and members of Jagga Gujjar’s family were rounded up and put in jail as suspects in the sessions court shootout case, and other known gangsters were shot dead in staged police encounters. That was why many gangsters give their arrest to police but Jagga Gujjar was the only one to refuse and he moved to FATA the independent area. when was going out of Lahore his man picked up the boxes full of rupees in his jeep on the Ravi Pull Tool Tax, that ass why boxes were fixed in land and chained afterwards.
Jagga Gujjar was the first person arrested after the enforcement of the act. “He was killed in confinement and then his body was thrown in the Bakra Mandi. Butchers also tried on the behalf of Punjab Police to frame his family after Jagga Gujjar was killed an police encounter. They murdered his two brothers claiming they had returned to take Jagga Tax, but Jagga had never taken any tax himself. Police just created the propaganda of Jagga Tax to justify killing him… he barely spent six months out of jail before he was killed. There were between five and seven murder cases against Jagga. His entire family was forced to live within the confines of the Raiwind police area during this time.
While the Goonda Act remained in force, over a dozen men labeled as goondas, including Jagga Gujjar and his follower Kaka Lohar, were killed in police encounters across the Punjab area (then a part of the One Unit).
Coming out of this period, the Jagga Gujjar’s family who had lost their relatives to the Goonda Act began pouring their money into film to reclaim their memory by offering a counter-narrative to the state and ghoonda tax is still called as Jagga Tax after Jagga Gujjar’s name .
Whenever Miraj Din Gujjar (nearly seven foot taller) came to meet him in Jail the doors were always opened for Jagga to meet him out of Jail door. When Jagga Gujjar was released from jail, a crowd of people is said to have stood outside to greet him at Mazang Chowk. When he died, thousands joined his funeral.
The fame Jagga earned was in the six months he was able to live out of jail, but stories are to much to tell about him. Wherever he went he fought people. He went to jail in an early age but continued to fight antisocial elements in society.
People forget one thing… Jagga Gujjar spent only six months outside of jail before he was killed.
He was true lover of Gujjar community. God bless him.

Fazal Elahi Chaudhry Former President of Pakistan

born on January 1, 1904 in an influential Gujjarfamily in Marala village, near the city of Kharian,Gujrat District in Punjab Province. After receiving his education from there, Chaudhry joined the prestigious Aligarh Muslim University in 1920, receiving his LLB in Civil law in 1924. Thereafter, Chaudhry returned to Punjab and attended thePunjab University's post-graduate school in law and political science. In 1925, Chaudhry obtained his M.A. in Political Science in 1925, and the advanced LLM in Law and Justice, in 1927.
After completing his education, Chaudhry established his law firm in Lahore, advocating for the civil law and liberties, and went back to Gujrat and started practicing the civil law. In 1930, he started taking interest in politics and participated in the Indian general elections in 1930 for the Gujrat District Board and was elected unopposed.

Political career

He joined the Muslim League in 1942. In 1945, he was elected from Gujrat as the President of Muslim League. He took part in the 1946 elections on Muslim League's ticket and played an important role in propagating the ideas of the Muslim League among the people of his area. Upon the independence of Pakistan, Chaudhry got involved in the new government, moving up to high ranking positions in the National Assembly.

Speaker of the West Pakistan Assembly

After Independence, he was given the post of Parliamentary Secretary. He was later appointed Minister for Education and Health. In 1951, he contested the elections of the Punjab Legislative Assembly on the Muslim League ticket and was elected as a member of the Punjab Assembly. In 1952, he represented Pakistan in the United Nations. In the 1956 elections, he was elected as member of the West Pakistan Assembly. Chaudhry was its Speaker from May 20, 1956 to October 7, 1958. In 1962, when Ayub Khan announced the elections, he was selected as the Deputy Opposition Leader of the House on the basis of his experience and knowledge about parliamentary proceedings. Chaudhry joined the Convention Muslim League, and after the 1956 elections, he was elected as the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly.

President of Pakistan

He was elected as member of the National Assembly in 1970 on the ticket of the Pakistan Peoples Party and was later elected as the Speaker of the National Assembly. He ended up joining the Pakistan Peoples Party. He contested the Presidential Elections of 1972 against s Khan Amirzadah Khan Of NAP & all opposition parties and was made President in 1973, when the head of the PPP, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was made Prime Minister.
Chaudhry was largely a figurehead, and was the first Pakistani President with less power than the Prime Minister. This was due to the new constitution of 1973 that gave power to the Prime Minister; previously, the President had been the chief leader of Pakistan and hadthe power to appoint Prime Minister.

Resignation

Fazal Elahi Chaudhry remained President until 1978, when he resigned after the military took control of the government under General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq. General Zia respected Chaudhry and came to visit him on his deathbed.

Death

Chaudhry died on June 2, 1982.
