BANNU AKRAM KHAN DURRANI

Akram Khan Durrani

23rd Chief Minister of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa

Akram Khan Durrani: was born in 1958 in the village Mewa Khel, Surrani, Bannu. He is the only son of Ghulam Khan. He belongs to Durri Khel clan from paternal side. He is Said Khel Wazir from his maternal side. His maternal side relatives live in Said Khel village, Surrani. He studied at Sikander Khel Bala Primary and High Schools. He completed his FA from Government Degree College, Bannu. His clan members live in Mewa Khel; Duri Khel; Allah Dodi kala (Bazida Karim Khan); Ahmad Khon kala (Bazida Yusuf Khan); and Bazidi (Bazida Kokal Khel).

He is the grandson of Khalif Gul Nawaz Khan. Khalifa Gul Nawaz was military commander of Haji Sahib (Faqir Epi). He fought many battles with British forces in Bannu and North Waziristan. After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, Gul Nawaz returned from the mountains and announced that he recognise Pakistan as an independent state. As a result he was awarded land in Mewa Khel by the Government of Pakistan.

Muhammad Akram Khan Durrani's grandfather Khalifa Gul Nawaz is first cousin of Lt General (R) Habibullah Khan (father of Lt General (R) Ali Quli Khan), Ex-Federal Minister Yousuf Khattak, Ex-Senior Federal Minister Kalsoom Saifullah (mother of Hamayun Saifullah, Salim Saifullah, Anwar Saifullah, Javed Saifullah) and Raham Jan Khan.

His uncle Saadullah Khan was also MPA from Bannu in 1985 during the premiership of Muhammad Khan Junejo under General Zia-ul-Haq. Saadullah Khan is FATHER OF DEMOCRACY in Bannu (and Lakki Marwat). He defeated the combined power of Saifullah Brothers and Malak Sher Bahadar Khan Surrani (father of Nasir Khan Ex-MNA/ Provincial Minister) and thus gave power to the poor people of this area. Before that the Khans of Bannu would stand for election and the common men had to vote for them. Even these rich people never bothered to ask for votes as they considered it as their insult to ask ordinary people.

Akram Durrani was elected as the 23rd Chief Minister of Pakistan's Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa on 29 September 2002. He is one of the few chief ministers in Pakistan who spent five years and completed his tenure. He is said to have a Degree in law and is a prominent member of the Jamiat-Ulema-Islam (F) of Maulana Fazlar-Rehman as well as a prominent member of the religo-political alliance the Muttahaida-Majlis-e-Amal. In his student life he was a member of the Pakhtun Student Federations, the student wing of the Awami National Party. Subsequently he joined the JUI-F and was elected several times to the provincial assembly from his home constituency of Bannu^[1]

He was elected to the National Assembly of Pakistan in the 11 May 2013 general elections. He also won provincial assembly seat which he relinquished. On that seat his cousin Azam Khan Durrani has been elected as MPA in the 22 August 2013 bye-elections. Akram Khan Durrani has been appointed as Federal Minister by the President of Pakistan on the advice of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on 29 August 2013 (The News). He has been given the portfolio of Ministry of Communications, Government of Pakistan on 30 August 2013. He has become the only Pashto speaking cabinet minister of the Government of Pakistan in the cabinet of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

Akram Khan Durrani is the voice of ordinary people of Bannu and the surrounding districts and is champion of their rights. He is highly respected in all the districts of Southern Pashtunkhwa, from Kohat to Dera Ismail Khan

BANNU WALLPAPERS

Bannu District (ZILLA BANNU): Pashto: Urdu: ) BANNU is one of 24 districts that make up the Khyber Pakhtunkhwaprovince of Pakistan. It borders North Waziristan to the northwest, Karak to the northeast, Lakki Marwat to the southeast, and South Waziristan to the southwest. It is represented in the provincial assembly by four MPAs.^[1]The district's main city is Bannu, near Waziristan.

The major industries of Bannu are cloth weaving and the manufacturing of cotton fabrics, machinery, and equipment. It is famous for its weekly Jumma fair. Although Bannu is surrounded by rugged and dry mountains, it is a very fertile place, and early English visitors had been known to refer to it as a "paradise".

Languages: Inhabitants of Bannu are known as Bannuchi and speak specific dialect of Pakhto Language. Saraiki dialect of Punjabi Language is also spoken by few. Urdu being National Language is also spoken and understood.

History: Bannuchi people trace their origins back to Arabia, coming from the Khost and Ghazni provinces of Afghanistan. Bannu was noted by the Sanskrit grammarian Pāṇini as the historical country of Varnu. The Chinese pilgrim Hsüan-tsang visited Bannu and Jaguda, Ghazni, while crossing the lands of O-po-kien (Afghans i.e. Pashtuns).

According to Avestan Vendidad, Varəna is one the 16 perfect lands created by Ahura Mazda and it is also associated with Bannu.^[4]

The history of Bannu goes back many ages, due to its strategic location. Sheri Khan Tarakai is an ancient settlement site located in the Bannu District with ruins of the oldest known village settlement in the Bannu region, which was occupied from the late fifth until the early third millennium BC.

British Era:After the annexation of Punjab (then including the NWFP), the valley was administered by Herbert Edwardes. As a result of his administration, the region became a source of strong support during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Although the valley itself was peaceful, it was subject to incursions from the Waziri tribes of theTochi Valley and the neighbouring hills. The primary export of the region was wheat. Salt and alum were also quarried at Kalabagh.

The modern district of Bannu was originally a tehsil of the old Bannu district of British India, in the Derajat Division of the North-West Frontier Province. The capital Bannu in the north-western corner of the district was the British base for expeditions to the Tochi Valley and the Waziristan frontier. A military road led from Bannu town toward Dera Ismail Khan.

Upon the creation of the North-West Frontier Province in 1901, the district of Bannu (equivalent to the now defunct Bannu Division), contained an area of 1,680 sq mi (4,351 km²) lying north of the Indus; the cis-Indus portions of Bannu were ceded to the Mianwali District of the Punjab.

In 1901 the District's population was 231,485, of whom the majority was Muslim. The principal tribes inhabiting the district are:

• Banizi, a Pashtun people who have always been very independent and stubbornly resisted the Sikh predecessors of the British.
• Wazir, comparatively recent immigrants from the hills, who are for the most part peaceable and good cultivators.

The Indus has no bridges within the district, but is navigable for local boats throughout its course of 76 mi (122 km). The main frontier tribes on the border are the Wazir, Bettani and Dawar

After independence

In 1990 Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif announced Bannu becoming a Divisional Headquarters. The Bannu District was divided in two, with the Lakki Marwat separating and becoming its own district.
