Chaudhry Zahoor Elahi (Urdu: چوہدری ظہور الٰہی,1917 – 25 September 1981) was a Pakistani politician who rose to prominence from the small town of Gujrat, Punjab, Pakistan.
Chaudhry Zahoor Elahi began his career in the police force as a constable but gave it up soon after the creation of Pakistan and ventured into business in association with his elder brother Ch Manzoor Elahi, who was a textile engineer by profession. The two brothers jointly purchased and operated a textile mill after the independence of Pakistan in Gujrat. Chaudhry Zahoor Elahi was a Jat of the Warriach clan.
He entered local politics in the 1950s. During Ayub Khan's rule, the governor of West Pakistan, Nawab of Kalabagh Amir Mohammad Khan, was an opponent of Chaudhry Zahoor Elahi. As the Secretary-General of the Convention Muslim League, he came to oppose Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. In his conflict with Bhutto, Chaudhry Zahoor Elahi was imprisoned and his family property confiscated by the Government. Chaudhry Zahoor Elahi was assassinated in Lahore in 1981 by Razaq Jharna, a member of Al-Zulfikar, a terrorist organisation led by Murtaza Bhutto.[1]
