Anthony Naveed (Urdu: انتھونی نوید) is a Pakistani politician who had been a member for the Provincial Assembly of Sindh from August 2018 to August 2023.

Political career[edit]

He was elected to Provincial Assembly of Sindh on a reserved seat for minorities in 2018 Pakistani general election representing Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians[1]

Naveed is a Roman Catholic and was elected under Pakistan's law of allotting seats to religious minorities. As member of the assembly, he has spoken out against a proposed bill that would have applicants state their religious identification before applying, arguing that it would further promote religious discrimination.[2]
