The House of Ittefaq<br />

Ittefaq means unity and it was an appropriate name when Mian Mohammad<br />

Sharif, father of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his six brothers founded Ittefaq<br />

foundry in 1939. The House of Ittefaq, the industrial conglomerate of Prime<br />

Minister Nawaz Sharif's family is not unity anymore and 119 offspring's siblings<br />

and spouses of the seven founding brothers are currently battling in courts for the<br />

division of the assets of the Ittefaq group.<br />

The House of Ittefaq claims to have lost an industrial unit in East <strong>Pakistan</strong>,<br />

besides losing Ittefaq foundry to Bhutto;s nationalization. In the aftermath of<br />

nationalization Mian Mohammad Sharif tried luck in UAE where he set up a steel<br />

re-rolling mills. He is reported to have told his family that while leaving for UAE<br />

that he would not return till the mill was ready. The factory was therefore,<br />

completed on time but proved too taxing for aging Mian Sharif in an unfamiliar<br />

enviroment and therefore, he returned after operating it for about a year or two.<br />
