The Pakistan Muslim League (Urdu: پاکستان مسلم لیگ; known as PML), is the name of several different Pakistani political parties that have dominated the centre-right platform in the country.[1][2][3]
The Muslim League (the original successor of the All-India Muslim League) was the party of Pakistan's founders. However, it faced multiple fractures soon after Pakistan gained independence in 1947. It vanished in the 1970s. Its revival began in the mid-1980s and today several parties in Pakistan are named Muslim League.
