Sardar Abdul Qayyum Khan Niazi belongs to the tehsil [[Abbaspur]] in [[Azad Kashmir]]'s [[Poonch District, Pakistan|Poonch]] district. His village Darra Sher Khan is located in [[Poonch District, Pakistan|Poonch's]] Battal sector, which has seen much destruction in Indian shelling in the past. His family is settled in [[Islamabad]], where they own businesses. |

[[Niazi]] is not Abdul Qayyum's family name, but a pseudonym, and an interesting story is attached to this title. In a recent interview with [[Aaj News]] he shared the story that in 1974 in his matriculation class, coincidentally another student was also present with the same name. So when they had to fill the examination forms he chose ‘Niazi’ as his Pen-name to differentiate from the other student. His roots are from the [[Mughal people|Mughal]] tribe ‘Douli’ and they also claim ancestry from the Mughal emperor [[Babur]]. |
