The '''Pakistan Muslim League (F)''' ({{lang-ur|{{Nastaliq|پاکستان مسلم لیگ (ف)}}}}, [[Acronym and initialism|acronym]]: '''PMLF, PML-F, PML (F)''') is a [[Nationalism in Pakistan|nationalist]] and pro-[[Hurs]] clan [[political party]] in [[Pakistan]]. It is one of the [[Pakistan Muslim League]]s. The letter 'F' in its name stands for ''functional''. It is primarily associated with the Sindhi religious leader [[Pir Pagara]]. It was formed in 1985 when the [[The Establishment (Pakistan)|Pakistani establishment]] decided to make [[Muhammad Khan Junejo]] the president of united PML. In response, Pir Pagara [[Syed Shah Mardan Shah-II]] parted ways with the mother league and formed his own party.

After [[Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah]] was defeated by [[Ayub Khan]] in the Pakistani presidential election, 1965, Jinnah established the Pakistan Muslim League (Functional). Pir Pagaro [[Syed Shah Mardan Shah-II]] became the head of this political party. He was also nominated as first president of United Muslim League. He was Chief of Pakistan Muslim League-Functional (PML-F), and spiritual leader of the ‘Hur’ Jamaat organization.

In the [[2002 Pakistani general election]], the party won 1.1% of the popular vote and 4 out of 272 elected members.

In May 2004, PML (Functional) merged with PML (Q) along with other parties to form the united [[Pakistan Muslim League (Q)|PML]].<ref>{{cite news |first = Ashraf|last = Mumtaz|url = http://www.dawn.com/2004/05/20/nat1.htm|title = Parties to inform EC about merger with PML|newspaper = Dawn |date = May 20, 2004}}</ref>

However, after 2 months in July 2004, Pir Pagara and the PML (F) parted ways with the united PML citing differences with the Chaudhry brothers and calling the PML, the [[Jat people|Jatt]] league.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_29-7-2004_pg1_6 |title=Pagaro parts ways with PML |newspaper=Daily Times |date=July 29, 2004 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041227145310/http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_29-7-2004_pg1_6 |archive-date=27 December 2004 |access-date=25 December 2007 }}</ref>

In the [[2008 Pakistani general election]], the PML-F won 4 seats,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hamariweb.com/pakistan-election/General/2008/ |website=Hamari Web| title=Pakistan Election Results - 2008}}</ref> and were given one reserved women's seat raising to their total to 5 National Assembly seats. Additionally, the party won 8 provincial assembly seats in Sindh and 3 in Punjab.

In September 2010 the Pakistan Muslim League (F) and [[Pakistan Muslim League (Q)|PML-Q]] united, forming the All Pakistan Muslim League (Pir Pagara).<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/news/pakistan/06-pml-q-announces-merger-with-pml-f-rs-02 |newspaper=Dawn |title=PML-Q announces merger with PML-F |date=18 September 2010|url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100918173103/http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/news/pakistan/06-pml-q-announces-merger-with-pml-f-rs-02 |archive-date=18 September 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://tribune.com.pk/story/51701/pml-q-pml-f-unite-to-form-all-pakistan-muslim-league/ |newspaper=The Express Tribune |title=Chaudhrys in new League with Pir Pagara |date=19 September 2010}}</ref>

In January 2012 after the death of 7th Pir Pagara [[Syed Shah Mardan Shah-II]] his son [[Syed Sibghatullah Shah Rashdi III]] the 8th Pir Pagara became the President of Pakistan Muslim League (F).The Headquarters of PML (F) was then shifted to Raja House from Kingri House.

In the [[2013 Pakistani general election]], PML-F won 6 seats in National Assembly and 10 seats in [[Provincial Assembly of Sindh]], PML (F) joined the government of [[Nawaz Sharif]]. [[Pir Sadaruddin Shah|Pirzada Sadaruddin Shah Rashdi]], younger brother of [[Syed Sibghatullah Shah Rashdi III]], of Pakistan Muslim League (F) was made the Minister of Overseas Pakistanis.

For the [[2018 Pakistani general election]], PML-F lead a new coalition named [[Grand Democratic Alliance]] with [[Awami Tahreek]], [[National Peoples Party (Pakistan)|National Peoples Party]], [[Pakistan Peoples Party Workers]] and [[Pakistan Peoples Muslim League]].<ref>{{cite news|author=Imran Mukhtar|url=https://www.firstpost.com/world/pakistan-general-election-grand-democratic-alliance-may-pose-formidable-challenge-to-ruling-ppp-in-sindh-4736861.html|newspaper=firstpost.com|title=Pakistan General Election: Grand Democratic Alliance may pose formidable challenge to ruling PPP in Sindh|date=14 July 2018}}</ref>
