  41. I am proud to say that Ms Shaista Baig has done a big acheivement in her life. History is that her mother is belongs to (Barcha family) Ganish and her parents have totally military background. Shaista’s mother 1st cusion Captain Sarfraz Ali Khan got Shahadat during free fall jump at Attock and awarded Tamga-e-Shujat & Sittara-e- Basalat. and her uncle Major Murtaza shaheed awarded Sitara-e-Jurat during 65 military war.

    In relation Shaista is my newphew. I have also appeared in 103 & 105 GD (P) but was failure due to unknown reason. However, I would like congratulate her on her big acheivement. I wish further success in her career ambitions with these words that ” Join the galaxy of daring men and symbol of the pride for the Nation.
