Mithankot (Mithancot, Mithankote, Kotmithan, Kotmithan Sharif, Kot Mithan) (Urdu: مٹھن کوٹ), is located in southern Punjab, Pakistan.

Mithankot is located on the right (west) bank of the Indus River, only a short distance downstream from its junction with Panjnad River. The latter is formed by successive confluence of the five rivers of Punjab, namely Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej. Panjnad River is approximately 45 miles (72 km) in length and joins the Sindhu river just above Mithankot. Because of its location at the confluence of major rivers, Mithankot was labelled as Allahabad (confluence of Ganges and Yamuna rivers) of the Indus by some historians. Early Greek historians and later Arab geographers have described a settlement named Pasipeda and Besmaid respectively on the western bank of the Indus river near its junction with the Satluj river. It is possible that this settlement was later renamed as Mithankot.

Nawaz Sharif (Punjabi, Urdu: نواز شریف; born December 5, 1949) is a Pakistani steel magnate and national conservative, serving as the 12th Prime Minister of Pakistan in two non-consecutive terms from November 1990 to July 1993, and from February 1997 until October 12, 1999. He is the President of the Pakistan Muslim League-N, the Centre-right-conservative political force in Pakistan.

Before becoming the Prime minister, Sharif served as the ninth Chief Minister of Punjab Province from 1985 to 1990 and embarked his political career under the military regime of President General Zia-ul-Haq. An advocate and businessman, he owns Ittefaq Group, a private steel mill enterprise and one of the largest producer of iron materials, noted as being as Pakistan's one of the wealthiest investor in the steel mill business. His political philosophy emphasized and reflected conservatism advocating for the free-market economy, capitalism as its economic base. His first term survived a serious constitutional crisis when President Ghulam Ishaq Khan attempted to dismissed Sharif by citing "corruption and nepotism", which Sharif strongly denied and turned to Supreme Court. The apex Supreme Court of Pakistan favored the Prime minister citing that Presidential ordnance as "unconstitutional and irrelevant", therefore the government was reconstituted. His first term was finally dismissed after the Pakistan Armed Forces persuaded him to resign to end the political standoff with President Ishaq Khan, which he too was forced to resigned.
