Senator A. Rehman Malik (Urdu: رحمان ملک ) (born 12 December 1951^{[citation needed]}) is a Pakistani politician, member of the Senate of Pakistan, and the current Interior Minister of Pakistan under the Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani administration. He was upgraded to latter position from Adviser to the Prime Minister on Interior Affairs and Narcotics Control after he was elected in the Senate of Pakistan.^[1] He took the oath as the federal minister on 27 April 2009.^[2][3]

Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. He later joined the Pakistan Peoples Party and was the trusted lieutenant and chief security officer (CSO) of Benazir Bhutto.

On 30th May 2012,Pakistan's Supreme Court gave Rehman Malik a one-day deadline to prove that he has given up his British citizenship, in absence of which he would lose his membership of the senate.^[4]

On 30th May 2012,A three member SC bench, headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhamamd Chaudhry, was hearing the dual nationality case, and observed that the documents presented by Malik’s counsel did not have the declaration of the interior minister renouncing his British citizenship.^[5]

Federal Investigation Agency career[link]

Benazir Bhutto appointed Malik as the additional director-general of the FIA which then launched a secret war against the Islamist elements in Pakistan, which amounted to a direct attack on the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).^[6] The Pakistani military was equally dismayed by reports of FIA contacts with the Israeli secret service, the Mossad, to investigate Islamist terrorists. The FIA leadership under Bhutto also angered Taliban supporters within the establishment, because they allowed the extradition of Ramzi Yousef to the US for trial on the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.^[6]

One of the first acts of President Leghari after dismissing Benazir Bhutto on 5 November 1996 was to imprison Ghulam Asghar, head of the FIA, on non specified corruption charges, and Malik, Additional Director General of FIA, was also arrested.^[6]

In 2011 Karachi University awarded him an honorary PhD.^{[citation needed]} During his nine-year long exile in England, Malik obtained British citizenship. However, Malik stated that he have up his British nationality in 2008 before holding public office.^[7]

Removal from FIA and exile[link]

In November 1998, Malik termed the termination of his service by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif an "act of retaliation" because of the 200-page report, which he had sent to then President Rafiq Tarar, disclosing large-scale corruption of Sharif family.U Malik then fled to London and made corruption accusation against the Sharif brothers.^[8]

With the dismissal of the government of the PPP, Malik left the country and settled in the United Kingdom where he started his business and became a business tycoon. He assisted Benazir Bhutto during her exile, and he was the chief of the security of Bhutto when she returned home in 2007.^[2]

Malik emerged as the deal broker in Benazir-Musharraf reconciliation talks in Abu Dhabi in July 2007, and replaced Makhdoom Amin Fahim as the most trusted political lieutenant of Benazir Bhutto. Fahim was Benazir's aide since 2002, when he formed the Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians and acted as the leader of PPP in the absence of Benazir and her husband Asif Ali Zardari. It was also reported in The News that after Malik took over the role of top "adviser and broker" of Benazir on important matters ranging from politics to business, Fahim seemed to have become an "obsolete political commodity."^[9]

Appointment as Interior Minister[link]

He was made an adviser on interior affairs and narcotics control to the PPP Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani, with the status of Federal Minister. He was later upgraded as Interior Minister of Pakistan.^{[citation needed]}

National Reconciliation Ordinance[link]

In 2007 threekuta ha s alleged case of corruption against Malik were dropped under the amnesty of the National Reconciliation Ordinance.^[10]

Syed Qaim Ali Shah (Urdu: سید قائم علی شاہ ) is the current Chief Minister of Sindh, Sindh President of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and an elected Member of Provincial Assembly (MPA) from PS-29 (Khairpur-1). Formerly, Shah has been Federal Minister for Industries and Kashmir Affairs, a senator and 17th Chief Minister of Sindh^[1].

For his role as a founding member of PPP and his political experience, Shah enjoys the reputation of a being a Pakistani political maestro of sorts.

Education[link]

Syed Qaim Ali Shah was born to Syed Ramzan Ali Shah Jillani^[2]. Shah’s household was counted amongst Khayrpur state’s more influential and educated families. After completing his early education in Naz High School, Shah was married by his family to a relative before he proceeded to Karachi for higher education.

In Karachi, Shah enrolled at Karachi University and received a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree. Later, he read law at S. M. Law College and received an L.L.B degree. During the course of his studies at SM Law College, Shah benefited from the company and guidance of his then professor, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, building a bond that would last for the duration of his professor’s life^[3].

Political career[link]

Shah entered politics by getting elected the chairman of Khairpur’s district council under Field Marshal Ayub Khan’s system of Basic Democracy in the 1960s^[4]. After that, there was no turning back. His close association with Bhutto led to his joining Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s PPP shortly after PPP’s creation in 1967.

He contested general elections of 1970 with a PPP-ticket from Khairpur Mirs and defeated his opponents, Syed Mohammad Baqir Shah (provincial president of National Awami Party (Wali)) and Syed Ghous Ali Shah. Recognizing young Shah’s capabilities, Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto appointed Qaim Ali Shah to his small cabinet by making Shah the Federal Minister for Industries and Kashmir Affairs.

After General Zia-ul-Haq’s coup d’état in July 1977, Shah was arrested along with Bhutto and other cabinet ministers. Unlike other PPP bigwigs such as Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi, Ghulam Mustafa Khar, Makhdoom Khaliq-uz-Zaman, Mir Hazar Khan Bijarani, who either left the party or became inactive, Qaim Ali Shah remained loyal to the party^[5]. During the eleven years of Gen. Zia-ul-Haq’s rule, Shah, and members of his family suffered imprisonment, torture, virtual poverty (as accounts and lands were seized), and constant fear. Most notably, Shah’s politically active nephew, Syed Parvez Ali Shah Jillani attained ‘Prisoner Of Conscience’ status in Amnesty International’s 1985 report for enduring six years of torture in General Zia’s torture cells. Benazir Bhutto’s autobiography, Daughter of the East, records Parvez’s ordeal in greater detail^[6].

With General Zia’s death and Benazir Bhutto’s return to the country, Shah was appointed the president of PPP-Sindh in recognition of his services to the Movement for Restoration of Democracy (MRD) and PPP. His landslide victory in the 1988 elections from his constituency, Khairpur Mirs, paved way for his appointment as the 17th Chief Minister of Sindh on December 2, 1988.

Subsequently, Shah was elected as a Member of Provincial Assembly (MPA), Sindh, in 1990, 1993, 2002 and 2008. He lost the only election of his career in 1997 when the PPP was nearly routed from parliament. Later, he made a bid for a senate seat, and won his first and only senate term in late 1997.

For winning seven out of eight general elections he contested, becoming a MPA six times, and Member of National Assembly (MNA) and senator once, Shah is an exception to the norm in Pakistani politics^[7].

Personal life[link]

Shah’s first marriage was arranged by his family during his teenage years to a cousin. After Shah completed his education in Karachi, his family, in accordance with the customs of the day, arranged his second marriage to Husn Afroze Brohi, sister of A. K. Brohi. Neither of his wives outlived him. Husn Afroze suffered from breast cancer and died in the late 1970s and Shah's first wife died from terminal illness a few years later. After several years as a widower, Shah contracted his marriage to his current wife according to the wishes of his family and friends.

Syed Qaim Ali Shah has four sons and eight daughters^[8]. The four children from his first marriage include Syed Muzaffar Ali Shah, Dr. Syed Liaquat Ali Shah, Shamshad Shah and Najma Shah. Syed Muzaffar Ali Shah is primarily an agriculturalist while Dr. Liaquat Ali Shah is an eye-specialist. Shamsad and Najma are housewives.

Syed Asad Ali Shah, Dr. Nusrat Shah, Naheed Shah Durrani, Nuzhat Shah, Dr. Nighat Shah, Dr. Nafisa Shah, and Syed Afzal Shah are his children from his marriage to Husn Afroze.

Syed Asad Ali Shah is the President of Institute of Charted Accountants Pakistan (ICAP), a board member of [http://www.ifac.org/About/ International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), a senior partner of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu's Pakistani firm, and Vice Chairman of Group of Experts on Accounting and Reporting, a forum of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development^[9].

Dr Nusrat Shah is a consultant gynaecologist and assistant professor at a public medical university. Dr. Nighat Shah is also a consultant gynaecologist, private practitioner, lecturer at Aga Khan University Hospital and current general secretary of Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Pakistan^[10].

Naheed Shah Durrani is a civil servant. After scoring high marks on her CSS exam, she was selected based on her merit under General Zia-ul-Haq’s regime that was otherwise opposed to Naheed’s father^[11]. After 14 years of service in the foreign ministry, district management group, and finance ministry, Durrani has worked her way towards her current post as provincial secretary for education^[12].

Dr. Nafisa Shah is a politician, journalist, anthropologist and painter. Dr. Nafisa Shah is a member of the National Assembly, Chairperson of National Commission for Human Development (NCHD), Member of Standing Committee on Economic Affairs, Finance and Minorities. She has the distinction of being counted among a few female politicians with over ten years of experience of field politics and an even smaller number of parliamentarians with the distinction of completing doctorate and postgraduate studies from the prestigious Oxford University.

Syed Afzal Shah Jilani is an actuarial scientist living and working in the US.

Nuzhat Shah is a child with special needs and Shah’s youngest daughter, Mona, is studying medicine in Pakistan.

Qaim Ali Shah’s 22 grandchildren also give him cause for pride, joy and comfort. Many of them are achieving distinctions in their careers and receiving honors at universities and schools in Pakistan and abroad.
