Alamgir Khan is a Pakistani activist and politician who has been a member of the National Assembly of Pakistan since October 2018. Khan belongs to the Mahsud tribe of South Waziristan currently living in Karachi, Pakistan.
Activism
He is the founder of his own organization named as Fixit.[2] While pursuing a Master of Business Administration degree from Iqra University, Khan started a campaign in January 2016 to spray-paint the portrait of then Chief Minister of Sindh Qaim Ali Shah alongside uncovered sewer holes and garbage dumps in various part of Karachi.[3][2] The campaign, called Fix It, achieved wide coverage.[4][5][6]
On 25 February 2016, he was arrested by the police after he attempted to empty the garbage bins outside the Sindh Chief Minister House in Karachi.[7] The next day, he was released on bail.[8] In March 2016, a city court in Karachi indicted him in a case of wrongful restraint.[9][6]
Khan was also briefly arrested after a clash between FixIt volunteers and Pakistan People's Party (PPP) workers at Teen Talwar in June 2019.[10]
Political career
In August 2018, Khan was allocated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) ticket to contest the by-election from Constituency NA-243 (Karachi East-II).[11]
He was elected to the National Assembly of Pakistan as a candidate of PTI from Constituency NA-243 (Karachi East-II) in by-election held on 14 October 2018.[12][13]
