Ishratul Ibad Khan (Urdu: عشرت العباد خان, born 2 March 1963) is a British-Pakistani[1] doctor and politician who served as the 30th governor of Sindh, Pakistan.

[8][9] Under the Constitution of Pakistan, the Governor of a province, as the representative of the President, must remain apolitical and neutral thus cannot be associated with or be a member of any political party.

[10] An Urdu column published in the Daily Jang claims that Ishrat ul Ibad had practically become 'Pindi Boy', alluding to the military headquarters in Rawalpindi, in 2011 and was very close with General Raheel Shareef.

He was also involved in securing the release of 22 hostages from Somalian pirates, with the partnership of Ansar Burney who leads a human rights organisation.

The park was established on 27 February 2007, and is the largest in the country, constructed under Clifton Beach Development Project on 130 acres (0.53 km2) of land.

Prior to the initiation of construction on Bagh Ibne Qasim, 73 acres (30 ha) of land was acquired from property speculators.
