Naseerullah Khan Babar (Urdu: نصیر اللہ خان بابر; born 1928 – 10 January 2011) was a Pakistani army officer, diplomat, and politician who served as the 28th Interior Minister of Pakistan from 1993 to 1996.

During 1974, Babar was tasked to fund and train Tajik rebels, by the order of Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, to stage uprising against the government of Sardar Mohammed Daoud Khan.

[2] The operation was a huge success for Pakistan as Daoud Khan was forced to change his way and end his support to Anti-Pakistani militants.

Before Aziz Deri was declared archiological site in 1996, among others, Naseerullah Babar purchased several artifacts and statues from the area over the years.

[4] Babar's early education was from Presentation Convent School, Peshawar, North West Frontier Province, British India, between 1935 and 1939.

He then attended Prince of Wales Royal Indian Military College from 1941 to 1947 in Dehradun, India, and joined the Pakistan Army in 1948.

Babar single-handedly captured an entire company of Indian army soldiers (70 POWs) and walked them back to the Pakistani territory.

[3][2] It was in retaliation of Daoud Khan decade long proxy war against Pakistan[9][10] and armed incursion by Afghan army in Bajaur in 1960 and 1961.

He lost in Nowshera to Awami National Party candidate Wali Muhammad Khan and in Karachi to Nawaz Sharif's nominee Ejaz Shafi.

[4] Contesting again in the 2002 general elections, he lost in the electoral sweep of the religio-political alliance of Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal, mainly due to Musharaff's goals of bringing Islamists in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan to power.

[4] In October 2007, he left the Pakistan Peoples Party due to his disagreement with Benazir Bhutto over her support for General Pervez Musharraf.
