Life
editJam Sadiq Ali Khan was Chief Minister of Sindh from 6 August 1990 to 5 March 1992. He was the Sardar of the Samma Jam and Junejo tribes and the Nawab of Sanghar.[citation needed] During Benazir Bhutto's 20-month Government, Nawab Jam Sadiq Ali served as an adviser but eventually resigned because of differences and was an archenemy of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. After Benazir Bhutto was forced to step down in August 1990 because of corruption charges, he was elected Chief Minister of Sindh.[1]
Jam Sadiq Ali died on 5 March 1992 at 57-years-old of cirrhosis at his home in Karachi. The Sindh government then declared three days of mourning, closing government offices and schools.[1]
