Adnan Haider (Urdu: عدنان حیدر رندھاوا; born 1979), more commonly known as Adnan Randhawa, is a Pakistani politician, columnist, civil and human-rights campaigner and lawyer.
Randhawa was associated with the political party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), where he worked in different capacities, including Central Media Coordinator, Central Assistant Secretary Information and Deputy Information Secretary PTI. He criticized PTI under Imran Khan to have compromised its agenda of change by making many compromises with status quo forces which, he alleged, had inducted or planted many leaders in the ranks of PTI. Soon after he left PTI, he founded another political party, Aam Admi Party Pakistan (AAPP).
He believes that a secular, liberal, socialist, democratic and pluralistic society is the answer to many woes that have plagued Pakistan over decades. Randhawa is busy in organizing his newly founded Aam Aadmi Party of Pakistan to wage a political struggle against what he terms as corrupt ruling elite and status quo forces of Pakistan.
Randhawa was born in Burewala, Vehari District, Punjab. His father was a clerk in the office of Assistant Commissioner of Burewala. His grandfather had fled from India during the massacres of 1947 from Tehsil Batala, Gurdaspur district.
After studying at his home town till intermediate level, he continued his bachelor's and law studies at Forman Christian College; and the Punjab University Law College, a constituent college of the University of the Punjab, both located in Lahore, Punjab.
