Khan was born on 30 November 1977 in a Pashtun family in Mardan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.[1]
His grandfather Khan Pir Muhammad Khan was a Pakistan Movement activist close to MA Jinnah, and in 1940 he led the caravans from Mardan to attend the Lahore Resolution. He also served as a federal minister twice, but after him the family more or less stopped being involved in national politics.[2]
Khan earned his LLB degree from the Universal College Islamabad (UCI), enrolling there after being advised by Barrister Masroor Shah, a senior lawyer of the Supreme Court.[3]
He's also a civil engineer.[4]
He was elected to the National Assembly of Pakistan as a candidate of PTI from Constituency NA-10 (Mardan-II) in the 2013 Pakistani general election.[5][6][7][8] He received 46,531 votes and defeated a candidate of JUI-F.[9]
He was re-elected to the National Assembly as a candidate of PTI from the Constituency NA-22 (Mardan-III) in the 2018 Pakistani general election.[10] He received 58,577 votes and defeated Moulana Mohammad Qasim.[11]
On 17 September 2018, he was inducted into the federal cabinet of Prime Minister Imran Khan.[12]
On 11 May 2023, he was arrested by Pakistani authorities under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) law due to his alleged involvement and incitement in the 2023 Pakistani protests. After securing bail and getting re-arrested eight different times, and spending 78 days in jail, on 27 July, he was released after the Peshawar High Court (PHC) had intervened to grant him bail.[13][14]
In 2014, a police case was registered against Khan after he stormed a police station which caused injuries to three policemen.[15]
In 2017, Khan asserted that those who want to secularize Pakistan should "mend their ways or leave the country", as for him Pakistan was always meant to be an Islamic state.[16]
