Muhammad Salim Khan (died 7 February 2009) was a Pakistani politician, physician and one of the founders of the Swabi Qaumi Mahaz (SQM), who served twice as a Member of the Provincial Assembly (MPA) from Swabi PF-24 Swabi 1993-1996 and (PF-31 Swabi-I), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly NWFP) from 2002 to 2007. He also held the Health portfolio in the provincial government.[1][2][3][4] He is the father of Babar Saleem.

Political career

[edit]

Muhammad Saleem Khan was associated with the Awami National Party (ANP) early in his political career and was connected to the Khudai Khidmatgar movement through his family.[1][4]

Saleem was elected from Constituency PF-24 Swabi on an ANP ticket in 1993,[5] but lost the election to ANP's Saleem Khan Advocate after becoming an independent candidate in the 1997 elections.[6][7]

He co-founded the Swabi Qaumi Mahaz (SQM) around 1997 when there were differences with the ANP leadership regarding tickets.[3][1]

He was elected as an MPA from Constituency PF-31 Swabi-I as an independent in the 2002 provincial elections, serving from 2002 to 2007.[2] He also served as the provincial health minister in the North-West Frontier Province (present-day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) at some point.[8]

In the 2008 provincial election for PK-31 (Swabi-I), Muhammad Zarshid of ANP won with 9,482 votes, defeating Saleem (running as an independent), who received 7,969 votes.[9][10]

Death

[edit]

Saleem died on 7 February 2009.[11]
