 * Keep Satisfies WP:GNG per sources. Being elected to legislature is not the only criteria for notability.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 02:45, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep I guess none of us noticed the Category:Pakistani MNAs 1972-77 that was there all along. He was an elected member of National Assembly of Pakistan from 1972 to 1977. That's where he used to criticize the Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto regime so harshly and tension among them rose to the point where Bhutto allegedly tried to eliminate him altogether. Instead, his father, Nawab Mohammad Ahmad Kasuri, who was also in the car with him, got hit in the car ambush and died. Ahmad Raza Khan Kasuri escaped unhurt according to The New York Times published article on 18 March 1978. NYT and a second reference from Dawn (newspaper) were also already there describing the circumstances. I have added nothing to the article since my last edit on 9 June 2019.

 * Keep. To be fair to the nominator, this article is confusingly written, and basically jumps straight from "is a politician" to the assassination attempt without ever actually mentioning what political office he held at all until you scan the category declarations — but one of the sources present in the article plainly verifies that he actually was a member of the legislature. So this could do with a bit of effort to rewrite it and improve the sourcing, but he definitely held an NPOL-passing role — and the fact that the assassination attempt was the very thing that Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was executed for means that much better sourcing is very definitely out there somewhere.
