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.
Early life and family
He was born on 14 August 1925 in village Gorha Rajgan, Chakwal District. 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).
