Khan Abdul Jabbar Khan (Pashto: خان عبدالجبار خان) (born 1883, Utmanzai, Charsadda – 9 May 1958, Lahore), popularly known as Dr. Khan Sahib (ډاکټر خان صاحب), was a pioneer in the Indian Independence Movement and later, a Pakistani politician.[2] He was the elder brother of the Pashtun activist Abdul Ghaffar Khan, both of whom opposed the partition of India. [3] Upon independence, he pledged his allegiance to Pakistan and later served as the First Chief Minister of West Pakistan.
As the Chief Minister of the North-West Frontier Province, Dr Khan Sahib along with his brother Abdul Ghaffar Khan and the Khudai Khidmatgars boycotted the July 1947 NWFP referendum about the province joining India or Pakistan after the partition of India, citing that the referendum did not have the options of the NWFP becoming independent or joining Afghanistan.[4][5]
Upon independence and establishment of Pakistan, Khan Sahib joined the national politics and was later elected the first Chief Minister of West Pakistan.
