The Unionist Party was founded by:

The Unionist Party was a significant political party in British India, particularly dominant in the Punjab Province during the pre-partition era. It was founded in 1923 and primarily represented the interests of the rural population, including landlords and peasants, across religious lines (Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs). The party advocated for provincial autonomy and a united India, focusing on agricultural and economic development within Punjab.

The correct answer is Fazli Hussain. Sir Fazli Husain (also spelled Fazl-i-Husain) was a prominent lawyer, politician, and statesman who played a pivotal role in the formation and early leadership of the Unionist Party. He is widely recognized as one of its principal founders.

• Sikandar Hayat (Sir Sikandar Hayat Khan) was a very influential leader of the Unionist Party and served as the Premier of Punjab from 1937 to 1942. While a key figure, he was not the founder.
• Khizar Hayat Tiwana (Malik Khizar Hayat Tiwana) was another prominent Unionist leader who succeeded Sikandar Hayat Khan as Premier of Punjab, serving until 1947. He was also not the founder.
• None of these is incorrect because Fazli Hussain is the correct founder.
