Millat Party
Political party in Pakistan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Millat Party (Urdu: ملت پارٹی) was a political party in Pakistan, formed by Farooq Leghari, former president of Pakistan, once he was no longer the president, and needed a platform to survive politically. He had the money to start a small-scale party. Because of his support to the establishment, a number of people joined him. Millat Party was part of the ruling coalition led by PMLQ (2002–2007) where it was represented by Sardar Farooq Leghari's son, Owais Leghari.
