Mohammad Farooq Chishti (1901 - 1968) was a freedom fighter and politician from India. He was an Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) in the First Legislative Assembly of Uttar Pradesh. In 1952, Mohammad Farooq Chishti participated in the election on behalf of the Indian National Congress from the Deoria (North East) Legislative Assembly constituency of Deoria District of Uttar Pradesh.[1] Farooq, who served as an MLA for three terms, remained very close to Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, the former Prime Minister of India.
Early life

Mohammad Farooq Chisti was born in 1901 as the youngest son of Maulvi Muhammad Ismail Chishti, a resident of Railway Station Road. His father, Maulvi Muhammad Ismail, born in Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh, returned to India and settled in Deoria after graduating from Cambridge University. Farooq's family enrolled in King Edward School (now Government Inter College). It was during the initial training that they began participating in Social movement to liberate the country. Mohammad Farooq Chisti's name came up in the Chauri Chaura incident, which caused Headmaster Akhtar Adil to advise sending him to school elsewhere, to avoid a British reaction. Farooq was then sent to Allahabad, where he is credited for organizing the students' first successful strike. During that time he came in contact with Mahatma Gandhi and became close to him.
Political involvement

Whenever Gandhi and Nehru came to the Deoria district, they would stop at the Chishti House on Railway Station Road with Farooq. After the efforts of Jung-e-Azadi, an important character who was close to Mahatma Gandhi and Maulana Mazharul Haq, his elder brother Hamid Chishti left the British and joined the fight for independence. Hamdi was jailed several times. Due to this, Chishti House became a hideout for those seeking independence from British rule.
Mohammad Farooq Chishti blew the trumpet against the British rule during the First World War. He brought the proposal of the post of Home Minister of Pakistan on behalf of Muhammad Ali Jinnah to the king of Salempur, saying that it was not the ticket of the Muslim League and that the country needed independence.
After independence, he was elected as an MLA in 1952, 1957 on a Congress ticket from Uttar Pradesh's Devariya (North). But he lost the election from 1962 Padrauna (South) constituency number 210. In 1967, he was again elected as the Congress ticket MLA from Deoria Assembly for the third time. He died in 1968.
