His father, Ghulam Rasool Jatoi, was also involved in politics. He was a member of the Provincial Assembly of Sindh. This is like a local parliament for the Sindh region.
Jatoi went to school at Karachi Grammar School. He then went to England in 1952 to study law. However, he had to come back home early. This was because his father became very ill.

After that, he decided to form his own political party. He called it the National Peoples Party. The symbol for his new party was a tractor. This made him one of Pakistan's key political leaders with his own party.
