Makhdoom Muhammad Javed Hashmi (pronounced [dʒæˈʋed̪hæ'ʃmɨ] (IPA: [dʒæˈʋed̪hæ'ʃmɨ])); (Urdu: مخدوم محمد جاوید ہاشمی; b. 17 July 1951), is a Pakistani politician who presided over the Pakistan Muslim League and the Pakistan Movement for Justice.
Hashmi joined the Pakistan Muslim League in 1985, Hashmi served twice in federal cabinet, first as the Federal Ministry of Health and as the Federal Ministry of Youth Affairs in both first and second government of former Prime minister Nawaz Sharif. After being dismissed in 1999 in a coup d'état staged by General Pervez Musharraf against Nawaz Sharif, Hashmi was appointed central president of the Pakistan Muslim League and led the League in the controversial 2002 general elections, which saw the landslide defeat of the League. In 2003, Hashmi was arrested and faced a trial on charges of treason in the Central Jail Rawalpindi after making controversial statements against Pakistan Armed Forces, and was released on 4 August 2007.
