Naseer Ahmad Malhi (Urdu: چودھری نصیر احمد ملہی) (15 August 1911 – 12 July 1991) was a Pakistani politician, known for playing a pivotal role in the formation of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
A lifetime member of the Muslim League, he belonged to the gentry of Punjab and served as West Pakistan's first Minister of Education.
Malhi's father was the leading land-owning farmer of the district, one of the elites of Punjab, was noted for his philanthropy, and was decorated by the British Governor for his services to the community.
It is widely regarded by Pakistani historians as the landmark event which brought the Muslim League into prominence in undivided Punjab.
[2] He excluded Aitchison College from the list of schools receiving government assistance on the rationale that such elite institutions did not require federal aid.
[5] With the advent of martial law in the early sixties, Malhi became a vociferous opponent of the government of General Ayub Khan.
Malhi was offered key ministry posts during the Nawab of Kalabagh's tenure as Chief Minister of West Pakistan.
As a result of the secession of East Pakistan and his disappointment with the corrupt politicking of later politicians, he retired from electoral politics.
