Balakh Sher Mazari

Mir Balakh Sher Mazari was born on July 8, 1928, to the 22nd Sardar and the 7th Mir of the Mazari tribe, Murad Buksh Khan Mazari.

He was later elevated to become the Mazari chieftain in 1933 after the death of his father who had only ruled as chieftain for 9 months.

Murad Buksh Mazari had earlier succeeded his elder brother Mir Dost Muhammad Khan Mazari as the tribe chieftain and their father Mir Sher Muhammad Khan Mazari who was the 19th Sardar and fourth Mir of the Mazaris.

After the completion of his education from Aitchison College in 1945 went on to live in Rojhan-Mazari, from where he joined active politics in 1951. He has been elected Member of the Legislative Assembly, Member of the National Assembly and Member of the Provincial Assembly on many occasions.

On 19 April 1993, president Ghulam Ishaq Khan exercised his extra-constitutional presidential powers, instituted to him through the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, to resolve the power struggle in Pakistan and dismissed the government of prime minister Nawaz Sharif. After dissolving both, the national and the provincial assemblies, Khan appointed Mazari as the caretaker prime minister.

Mazari is now a part of Junoobi Punjab Sooba Mahaz, a newly formed political group which aims to “fight for the rights of people of South Punjab” and ultimately make it a separate province.
