Fawad chaudhry biography of william

PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry, who is in police custody on the charges of sedition, has an interesting journey -- from being a pragmatic politician to becoming a ‘populist’ one.

Fawad’s family was in politics before Partition and his forefathers had played a vital role in Pakistan Movement.

Chaudhry Altaf Hussain, Fawad's uncle, was a Punjab governor during the tenure of slain PPP chairperson and then premier Benazir Bhutto’s second government.

His other uncle, Justice Iftikhar Hussain Chaudhry, was the chief justice of the Lahore High Court from September 7, 2002, to December 12, 2007.

The PTI leader, who is a Supreme Court advocate by profession, was an active member of the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) led by former military ruler Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf.

Later, he joined the PPP and was appointed special assistant to prime ministers Yousuf Raza Gilani and Raja Pervez Ashraf.
