Current status :

Federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs & Northern areas

POLITICAL CAREER:

Wattoo was the head of Pakistan Muslim League (Jinnah) political party in Punjab. He was first elected, in

1985, the Speaker of the Provincial Assembly of Punjab, the largest province of Pakistan. Three times

elected for the same office, he secured the office of the Chief Minister of Punjab in 1993 on the PML

(Junejo) ticket

After a tug-of-war between Wattoo and Nawaz Sharif, the then restored (by Supreme Court) Prime

Minister of Pakistan and head of thePakistan Muslim League (N) (PML (N)), all assemblies were

dissolved and only after a fresh election, Wattoo was elected the Chief Minister of Punjab again on PML

(Junejo) ticket, ruling a coalition consisting chiefly of Pakistan People's Party (PPP), PML (Junejo),

minorities, and some independents.

It was in 1995 that Wattoo formed his own PML (Jinnah), when he parted ways with Hamid Nasir

Chattha who wanted to be the president ofPML (Junejo), which Wattoo was previously a part of. The

differences cropped up in the same year when Wattoo was removed as the Punjab Chief Minister in the

power struggle between the province (headed by PML (Junejo) and the center (headed by rival PPP),

leading Arif Nakai another PML (Junejo) candidate to be the new Chief Minister.

Painted corrupt by the PPP, PML-N, he was removed from the office of Chief Minister only to be restored

to office a year later in 1996 by the High Court. Corruption allegations and court proceedings were started

against Wattoo by archrival and then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of the PML-N, Mian Manzoor Wattoo

was sentenced by an accountability court to more than 10 years in prison besides being fined 10 million

rupees only later to be set aside by a higher court. After coming out of jail he began to take part in politics

and merged his party with the ruling party at that time: PML Q. Wattoo remained part of the ruling PML

(Q) until November 2007, despite differences with the party leaders Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and the

Punjab Chief Minister, Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi who suffered heavily under Wattoo's reign in Punjab in

1993-95.

With the upcoming elections Wattoo left the PML(Q) due to differences in seat allocations for his

constituencies and decided to run as an independent candidate along with the former local PML(Q)

branch of Dipalpur.

Wattoo announced to join forces with the Pakistan People's Party on May 29, 2008 along with party

members in Islamabad.[1]

Wattoo served as Federal Minister for Industries and Production in the PPP government of Prime Minister

Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani and in November 2009, his portfolio was changed and he became Federal

Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Northern Areas.
