== Political Career ==
In the 2002 J&K state Legislative Assembly Elections, the election campaign of the future first [[Cabinet Minister]] from Kargil, Haji Nisar Ali was launched from the transport office compound of Haji Anayat Ali which was a huge success.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Ali|first1=Haji Anayat|title=How Congress and PDP lost Kargi|url=http://www.kashmirlife.net/how-congress-and-pdp-lost-kargil0104-56097/|accessdate=24 April 2017|work=Kashmir Life}}</ref> In the 2008 Legislative Assembly Elections, Haji Anayat Ali's support in the capacity of Youth Wing President of Islamia School Kargil, proved beneficial for [[Jammu and Kashmir National Conference|National Conference]] in securing victory over the two [[Member of Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]] seats of the district.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Ali|first1=Haji Anayat|title=J&K: A Peaceful Poll?|url=http://www.kashmirtelegraph.com/2008_11_01_archive.html|accessdate=27 April 2017|work=Kashmir Telegraph}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Ali|first1=Haji Anayat|title=LADAKH: WHY NC LOST ITS TRADITIONAL STRONGHOLD?|url=https://bargad.org/2013/09/14/national-conference-ladakh/|accessdate=27 April 2017|work=Bargad}}</ref> The 2008 LAHDC Kargil elections had also went in favor of the candidates whom he supported.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Ali|first1=Haji Anayat|title=LAHDC Kargil|url=http://kargil.gov.in/|publisher=Govt.|accessdate=27 April 2017|ref=Govt. website}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Ali|first1=Haji Anayat|title=LAHDC Kargil|url=http://kargil.gov.in/lahdck/lahdck.html|website=LAHDC Kargil|accessdate=27 April 2017|ref=Govt Website LAHDC Kargil}}</ref>

In the 2009 Indian General Elections the [[Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha|MP]] seat of Ladakh went to [[Hassan Khan|Haji Ghulam Hassan Khan]], the independent candidate supported by [[Islamia School, Kargil|Islamia School Kargil]] with Haji Anayat Ali as its youth wing President.<ref>{{cite news|title=Cong upset with NC over Ladakh ploy|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Cong-upset-with-NC-over-Ladakh-ploy/articleshow/4549024.cms?referral=PM|accessdate=29 April 2017|work=TOI}}</ref>

In late 2014, Haji Anayat Ali joined the [[Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party]] which was considered a reckless move at the time as PDP had no support base in Kargil. However the inclusion of a third option on the political scene of Kargil was well received by the masses.<ref>{{cite news|title=Shia seminary helped PDP gain foothold in Kargil|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/jammu-kashmir/community/shia-seminary-helped-pdp-gain-foothold-in-kargil/81754.html|accessdate=16 May 2017|agency=The Tribune}}</ref>

The 2014 Assembly Election results established [[Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party|PDP]] as a prominent political factor in the complex and competitive political equation of Kargil district as despite losing the elections it managed to gather almost 30%<ref>{{cite web|title=Kargil Election Results 2014, J&K|url=http://www.elections.in/jammu-and-kashmir/assembly-constituencies/kargil.html|accessdate=4 May 2017}}</ref> of the total vote cast. In early 2015 he was nominated as [[Member of the Legislative Council]] J&K, representing Kargil.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Ali|first1=Haji Anayat|title=Anayat Ali elected LC Chairman, Jehangir Mir Dy Chairman|url=http://scoopnews.in/det.aspx?q=46210|accessdate=24 April 2017|agency=scoopnews}}</ref>

On 26 August 2019, he left PDP to join [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] in its New Delhi Headquarters.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/ladakh-mp-jamyang-tsering-namgyal-and-jammu-and-kashmir-legislative-council-chairman-haji-anayat-ali-kargil-leaders-join-bjp-1591883-2019-08-26|title = J&K Legislative Council chairman, Ladakh MP, 6 other Kargil leaders join BJP}}</ref>

On 16 October 2019, Legislative Council was abolished after the [[Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act (2019)|reorganisation of Jammu and Kashmir]]. Ali was the last Chairman of the Council.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.financialexpress.com/india-news/jk-administration-orders-abolition-of-legislative-council-asks-its-staff-to-report-to-gad/1738394/|title = J&K administration orders abolition of legislative council, asks its staff to report to GAD|date = 17 October 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://jkgad.nic.in/common/showOrder.aspx?actCode=O32993|title=Untitled Page}}</ref>
