Offer by G.Pervez Musharraf

Makhdoom Ameen Faheem, never regrets his decision to turn down a clear-cut offer to become the country’s prime minister on the condition of parting his way from his leader, Benazir Bhutto (late), former Prime Minister and Chairperson of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), one of the largest political parties of this South Asian Muslim state.Faheem was  the Vice-Chairman of the PPP, and was also the Parliamentary Leader of the same party in the National Assembly.
Corruption Allegations

Amin Fahim has been involved in the NICL Multi Billion rupees scandal.[1] Many party members of various political parties of Pakistan are embroiled in such kick back schemes. National Accountability Bureau NAB was created to tackle such issues. Although not a complete success, it has assisted ruling parties in detaining rival party factions.

Amin Faheem’s son , Makdhoom Najeeb, has been barred from traveling out of U.A.E. due to bounced cheque.He was told to report to the Jebel Ali Police Station, as there was a case against him for a bounced cheque, which he gave to a Free Zone authority as part of a business deal. It was then discovered that the Free Zone Authority had erroneously presented the rent cheque to the bank even though the offices for which it had been given the Post Dated Cheque had already been handed back to the Free Zone authority a month earlier. The Free Zone apologized and lifted the case on him immediately.

Sarwari Jammaat

Makhdoom Ameen Faheem is also the leader of the largest spiritual group of people called the “Sarwari Jamaat” in Pakistan, consisting of more than 6 million people across the world, it was recorded that Sarwari Jamaat consisted of 1 million people 300 years back “No lakhi Gadii”, but gradually expanded to the current number.He is a landlord and leader of a social democratic party, as well as a Sufi divine (Sarwari Jamaat).

Career after Benazir Bhutto
Makhdoom Ameen Faheem was mentioned as a possible chairman for the PPP in the wake of the December 27, 2007 assassination of Benazir Bhutto, but Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Asif Ali Zardari were named party co-chairs and Faheem was considered the party’s probable candidate for Prime Minister. However, the PPP hesitated to name Faheem as its candidate following its victory in the February 2008 election. It was suggested that Asif Ali Zardari might be reluctant to nominate Faheem as Prime Minister because he is worried that Faheem could strengthen his political base in Sindh and threaten the influence of the Bhutto family there.

Commerce minister of Pakistan

Later, the PPP nominated Yousaf Raza Gillani as Prime Minister on March 22, 2008. Although this was viewed as a snub to him, he said that he would not leave the PPP and had the “best wishes” for Gilani. Faheem, however, was made the Commerce Minister of Pakistan in November 2008 shuffle as a consolation.

Poetry is my first love

“Poetry is my first love. I am still fond of saying verses and reading poetry of others,” Faheem says.
 His forte is mystic poetry. His poetry speaks about love, peace, and simplicity.
“I have always been fond of the poetry of Maulana Rumi, Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai, and Sachal Sarmast. Their poetry has left a deep impact on my life. I have learnt from them (poets) to be loyal to your loved ones in good or rainy days,”
He says. “I don’t believe in ruling the people. I believe in ruling their hearts. That is why my voters love me, and they never disappointed me,”

Initially, he was more interested in poetry than politics. However, he had no choice but to jump into the fray as the political heir of Makhdoom family.
