INTERVIEW MR. SAJID TARAR

BY DR. HUMA

QUESTION# 01 From law school to being an entrepreneur and now joining US politics - what inspired you to be a politician? Law is directly related to the politics, I have been studying political science all of my life. Being a son of a lawyer; who was a politician himself plus I belong to a political family too. In Pakistan my first cousin was MNA for five years in Pakistan People’s Party and now he is MPA from PTI platform in Pakistan so I would say my political exercise started taking place at my home. I was also a student leader during my years in Islamabad and Lahore then the reason why you know law and politics is same if you see the 70 percent of the legislature parties all over the world they are having lawyers and plus another point is most of the American presidents- they have been lawyers as well, because for the lawyers law is the professional way to deal with social and political issues either they are domestic law cases or property related or anything so this is basically how law impacts politics. QUESTION# 02 You are the founder of "Muslims for Trump"- how did that idea spark in the first place? Reason I have explained that I studied political science all of my life so the traditional politicians and legacy politics had taken the politics to the dead end. If you look at my political career, you will notice that for the very first time- already a self-made and established person came to politics after accomplishing his business empire. I was ready to accomplish further leadership and created a platform for “Muslims for Trump” . PAGE# 20
