Kausar Niazi

Known for his eloquence and religious scholarship, Niazi played a pivotal role in shaping policy and remained one of Bhutto’s closest aides and most trusted confidants.

Niazi's political career was marked by steadfast loyalty to Bhutto, serving as a minister for six years and actively contributing to the PPP's vision.

[3] Kausar was born into a Pathan family of the Niazi in the Musa Khel village of Mianwali in the Punjab Province, British Indian Empire on 31 April 1934.

But Bhutto intervened and overruled their concerns, suggesting that Kausar Niazi fully supported the party's socialist programme.

[3] Kausar Niazi contested the Pakistani general election, 1970 from a constituency in Sialkot area even though he was originally from the Mianwali District.

But Niazi, conveniently changing his earlier anti-Ahmadiyya position, painted himself as a 'progressive Muslim scholar' and a strong supporter of the PPP's socialist manifesto.

Maulana Kausar Niazi said that Zia-ul-Haq had deposed and ultimately destroyed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
