'''Liaquat Ali Jatoi''' ({{lang-ur|{{Nastaliq|ﻟﻴﺎﻗﺖ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺟﺗﻮﺋﻰ}}}}) (born January 5, 1948) is a Pakistani politician who was [[Chief Minister of Sindh|Chief Minister]]<ref name="Akbar2011">{{cite book|last=Akbar|first=Malik Siraj|title=The Redefined Dimensions of Baloch Nationalist Movement|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2-3QcOx2hogC&pg=PA92|accessdate=11 May 2011|date=2011-03-30|publisher=Xlibris Corporation|isbn=978-1-4568-9531-0|pages=92–}}</ref>{{Self-published inline|certain=yes|date=December 2017}} of [[Sindh]] during 1997–1998.<br />
<br />
==Political career==<br />
Liaquat Jatoi was first elected to the [[National Assembly of Pakistan|National Assembly]] in 1977. However, this Assembly was dissolved by [[General officer|General]] [[Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq]] within a few weeks of the elections. During [[Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq]]'s rule, Jatoi served as member of the Federal Council ([[Majlis-e-Shoora]]) in 1980–81.<br />
<br />
Jatoi later on participated in the elections of 1985, 1990 and 1997, when he was elected to the [[Sindh Provincial Assembly|Sindh Assembly]] as a Member. In 1990, he was chosen as the Provincial Minister for Finance, Excise and Taxation, [[Government of Sindh]]. This was the beginning of his alliance with [[Pakistan Muslim League (N)]] headed by [[Nawaz Sharif]].<br />
<br />
After the elections of 1997, Liaquat Ali Jatoi was chosen as the [[Chief Minister of Sindh]]. He served in this position until the end of October 1998, when Governor's Rule was imposed in Sindh due to the law and order situation.<br />
<br />
In 2002, Jatoi was elected to the [[National Assembly of Pakistan|National Assembly]] and was inducted into the Federal Cabinet as a Minister. Initially he held the portfolio of Minister of Industries, and was later on made the Minister for Water and Power.<br />
<br />
Dadu District emerged in the period of 1998–2007, with Jatoi having no defeat in the history of his politics. However, in 2007, when [[Benazir Bhutto]] was assassinated, protests took place all over Sindh and Jatoi's house in Dadu was set on fire by the [[Pakistan Peoples Party]] activists. Jatoi lost his seat to the [[Pakistan Peoples Party]], due to the sympathy of the people of Sindh on the assassination of [[Benazir Bhutto|Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto]].<br />
<br />
During the exile period of [[Nawaz Sharif]], Liaquat Jatoi formed [[Sindh Awami Ittehad]] and merged the party with [[Pakistan Muslim League (N)]] when Sharif was back in Pakistan.<br />
<br />
However, in the General Elections of 2013, Jatoi contested elections on the ticket of [[Pakistan Muslim League (N)]], where he was defeated by a massive margin of 45000 votes by the son of former PPP Federal Minister, Haji Zafar Ali Khan Laghari, Imran Zafar Laghari.<br />
<br />
In April 2017, Jatoi joined the [[Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf]] political party.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1325262/former-pml-n-leader-liaquat-jatoi-joins-pti|title=Former PML-N leader Liaquat Jatoi joins PTI|work=Dawn|first=Fahad|last=Chaudhry|date=6 April 2017|accessdate=6 April 2017}}</ref><br />
