Abdul Hamid Khan Dasti

Abdul Hamid Khan Dasti (Urdu: عبدالحمید خان دستی) was a Pakistani politician who served as the Chief Minister of Punjab in 1955.

As a prominent member of the Muslim League party, Sardar Abdul Hamid Khan Dasti was closely associated with Mr. Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Pakistan's founding father, or Quaid-e-Azam, as well as with Allama Sir Muhammad Iqbal, the national poet, philosopher, scholar and visionary, who happened to be his professor at Government College Lahore.

The military coup of 1958, which dissolved the assemblies and abrogated the 1956 constitution debarred nearly all of the country's politicians, including Sardar Abdul Hamid Khan Dasti, from taking part in politics.

He also campaigned for his son, Sardar Amajd Hamid Khan Dasti when the latter launched his political career in the Muslim League.

Sardar Abdul Hamid Khan Dasti did not re-enter politics following the restoration of democracy in the early 1970s, and chose to retire instead.
