Former federal law minister Khalid Anwar, who served during Nawaz Sharif’s tenure, has passed away at the age of 86.
According to his son, Advocate Rashid Anwar, the veteran politician had been undergoing treatment at a private hospital for some time due to illness.
Khalid Anwar was appointed federal minister for law, justice, and human rights in 1997 and remained part of Nawaz Sharif’s cabinet until the military coup led by the late Gen Pervez Musharraf in October 1999.
Born into a family with a strong political background, Khalid Anwar was the son of Pakistan’s fourth prime minister, Chaudhry Muhammad Ali.
