Amir Gulistan Janjua (14 August 1925 – 19 February 2019) was a military officer who served as a governor of the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan. He also served as the ambassador to UAE, Nepal and Saudi Arabia. [1]
He was born on 14 August 1925 in village Gorha Rajgan, Chakwal District. His father, Raja Feroz Khan Janjua, then a Havildar of the 59th Scinde Rifles (Frontier Force), upon hearing the birth news of the son at Fort Lockhart, shared this news with a local Malik. The Malik looked jubilantly at Fort Gulistan and said, “Amir of Gulistan has arrived ”. So, the child was named Amir Gulistan.
He was awarded Sitara-e-Quaid-e-Azam and Tamgha-e-Pakistan, Nishan-e-Taj (Iran), Grand Order of Kokab (Jordan) and Order of Gorkha Dakshina Bahu (Nepal).[2]
