Sardar Khalid Ibrahim was born in Rawalakot, but his roots go back to the Kashmiri Sudhans(or Sudhanzai) tribe, who claim mixed descent from the Afghan Sadozais and local indigenous tribes of the area. The Sudhanzai is the single largest tribe(12 million) of the State of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. He resigned from the Legislative Assembly of Azad Kashmir on two occasions.
After his recent resignation, on 8 January 2009, he stated that,
“I have voted in favor of the no-trust motion, but the new set-up has come into being with the help of those who describe Kashmiri militants as terrorists and say that India was never a threat to Pakistan.
The new set-up has made a greater compromise on the Kashmir issue than the one that has been sent packing and I announce my resignation from the assembly”.
He is President of Azad Kashmir"s political party Jammu Kashmir Peoples Party.
