    Interesting review of Gen Aslam Shah. He was younger brother of Qureshi Muhammad Hashim Shah who was Director Agriculture Punjab and was boss of my father Ghulam Sarwar Arshad (EADA/head of Agriculture programme Radio Pakistan Lahore) All above personalities were very loving may Allah swt reward them high ranks in Jannat ul Firdos Aameen.
