Altaf Gohar

Altaf Gohar was a prominent Pakistani bureaucrat who served as the Federal Secretary of Information at a young age of 39. He was closely associated with Pakistan's first military ruler, General Ayub Khan, and is recognized for being the original author of Ayub Khan's book 'Friends Not Masters'.
