While the Nawabzada’s own PDP was often mocked as a ‘tonga party,’ his personal position as one of the country’s leading politicians made it possible to say that no politician of his age exerted such a tremendous influence right up to the moment of his death.
The Nawabzada was remarkable for his refusal to waver from the principle of democracy.
Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan was born in Khangarh, in Muzaffargarh district, in 1918.

The death of Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan snaps a precious link with the political tradition of pre-independence days and the values of decency, tolerance and commitment on which politicians of those days were nurtured.
His conservative background did not induce in him the same active involvement with social issues that he brought to his political work, and he was unable to clearly identify the element of vindictiveness that motivated some of his colleagues in the PNA agitation of 1977.
The Nawabzada had crossed swords with both Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif, but in the wake of the 1988 elections, he had worked assiduously, if unsuccessfully, to persuade the PML and the PPP to work together.

The Nawabzada was elected MNA in 1962 but remained in opposition throughout the Ayub era.
