“I was mentally shocked and my conscious shook when Pakistani and Afghan terrorists attacked our brothers (Shia Muslims) by using the name of religion in 1988 during General Zia’s regime, otherwise I was sympathizer and worker of Pakistani parties like Tehrik-e-Istiqlal. I was supporter of Nizam-e-Mustafa campaign in 1977 against Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto."[1]
Khan was born on July 10, 1953, in Bahrkohlti, a small village of Yasin in the Ghizer district.
