Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif was the 12th Prime Minister of Pakistan, who took over the office since June 2013. A veteran politician and industrialist, Sharif has previously served as the Prime Minister on two other occasions —from 1990 to 1993 and from 1997 to 1999.
Born on 25 December 1949 into a well-to-do family in Lahore, he entered his family business upon his graduation. His father founded the Ittefaq Group of Industries which is today a large conglomerate dealing in steel, sugar, paper, and textiles.
He first came to national prominence during the early days of Gen Zia’s martial law, serving as Punjab province’s finance and then chief minister from 1985-1990. When he first became the Prime Minister in 1990 he attempted to create an economy based on privatization and economic liberalization in order to pave the way for Pakistan’s rapid industrial development. In 1999, he was deposed from the office in a coup by the then Army Chief Pervez Musharraf and sent to exile in Saudi Arabia. However, Nawaz Sharif came nack to Pakistan in 2007 and eventually regained power in 2013.
On July 28, 2017, Pakistan’s Supreme Court ordered the removal of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from the office after an investigative panel alleged his family could not account for its vast wealth.
It all started in 1990s, when Sharif twice served as the prime minister, was alleged of money laundering and purchased assets in London. The assets surfaced when Panama Papers leaked in 2016 revealed that they were managed through offshore companies owned by Sharif’s children.
