The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), a prominent political party in Pakistan, has been actively engaged in overseas activities, forging strong connections with the Pakistani diaspora and promoting the interests of Pakistan abroad. One of the key figures who played an essential role in these activities, the late Chaudhry Muhammad Altaf, former President of PML-N United Arab Emirates, is remembered with great respect and admiration. His unwavering dedication and service to the party and Pakistan are emblematic of the commitment displayed by PML-N members worldwide.
Tribute to Chaudhry Muhammad Altaf
The late Chaudhry Muhammad Altaf (1944 to 2021), who served as the President of PML-N United Arab Emirates, left an indelible mark on the overseas activities of the party. His unwavering commitment to the PML-N and its leader, Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, was nothing short of remarkable. Chaudhry Altaf played a pivotal role in various initiatives, from the construction of the Pakistan Muslim League House in Lahore to providing support to flood and earthquake-affected areas in Pakistan.
Despite his advanced age, he continued to actively engage in the organisation of the PML-N, making sure that members of the National Assembly, ministers, and advisers from Pakistan received warm hospitality when visiting the UAE. Chaudhry Muhammad Altaf was also instrumental in resolving the issues faced by the Pakistani community in the UAE. He also served as an official of the Pakistan Business Council, contributing to the resolution of issues affecting the Pakistani community.
Chaudhry Muhammad Altaf’s unwavering support for Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif during General Pervez Musharraf’s authoritarian era highlighted his steadfast commitment to the PML-N’s principles. His generosity and willingness to assist those in need endeared him to countless members of the party. Chaudhry Altaf’s untimely passing left a void that will be challenging to fill, but his legacy lives on through his three sons and two daughters.
His sons Chaudhry Faisal Altaf, Chaudhry Muhammad Umar and Chaudhry Abdul Rehman are now taking forward his mission to serve their community and promote PML-N in UAE.
