Biography[]
He was born on 14 August 1925 in village Gorha Rajgan, Choa Saiden Shah in Chakwal tehsil.[citation needed] His father, Raja Feroz Khan Janjua, 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]
