History

Pukhtoon Students Federation was formally founded on 8 April 1968, at the historical tomb of the national hero Khushaal Khan Khattak at Akora Khattak (Nowkhar), Pakhtunkhwa. Nisar Shinwari was the first President of PSF. It was initially formed by a group of nationalist students, but became a platform for the welfare and awareness of Pukhtoon students, and members started to work closely with other nationalist forces. It supported the National Awami Party, and PSF was patronized by Wali Khan President of ANP. After being independent in the initial years, PSF was made a formal organization of the Awami National Party by ANP President Begum Nasim Wali Khan, giving PSF a say in the party. However, PSF units in the academic institutes remain independent of ANP as well as decentralized and adapted to the needs of the environment. It is a student organization that is leftist, secular, liberal, progressive and nationalist in nature. It is present in numerous educational institutions of Pakistan. Every student belonging historically to the regional Pukhtoonkhwa irrespective of his/her color, race language and religion can become a member of PSF.Pukhtoon Students Federation (PSF) is the legacy of Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan "Bacha" Khan (1890 - 20 Jan 1988), a Pashtun political and spiritual leader known for his non-violent opposition to British Rule in India and his Khudai Khidmatgar movement. His grandson, Asfandyar Wali Khan, as a student activist, launched and organized PSF and became its Central Executive Committee member during the national uprising against the dictatorship of General Ayub Khan. Pukhtoon Students Federation opposed the military dictatorship of General Yahya Khan who replaced Ayub Khan through a coup-d'etat in 1969; Yahya Khan and general mushraf banned PSF along with all political activities.
