Altaf Gauhar
Altaf Gauhar (17 March 1923 – 14 November 2000) was a civil servant, journalist, poet, and writer from Pakistan. He was born in Gujranwala.
== Civil service career ==
Gauhar entered the Civil Service of Pakistan in 1948. Starting his career as Secretary, State Bank of Pakistan, he rose to be Information Secretary Government of Pakistan at the age of 39, During his tenure, draconian laws governing the press were passed, something for which Gauhar later publicly apologised.〔(Obituary in The Guardian by Michael Simmons )〕
He was, however, a gifted writer and became very close to President Ayub Khan, so much so that he was known as the de facto vice President of Pakistan. He was the main ghost writer for the latter's autobiography entitled Friends Not Masters.〔(Comments on Let us build Pakistan by Musharraf Zaidi )〕
Subsequently he wrote his biography, ''Ayub Khan : Pakistan's First Military Ruler'', which gave a different story altogether because it was written after the death of his old mentor prompting people to question 'who is the real Ayub?'〔Who is the real Ayub Khan?, A G Noorani, Frontline, Volume 24 - Issue 11 :: 02-15 Jun. 2007 ()〕 The last official act of President Ayub Khan before handing over power was to invite Altaf Gauhar to lunch with his family and bestow on him the high civil award of Hilal-i-Quaid-i-Azam. Through some palace intrigues, President Yahya Khan assumed power on 25 March 1969. A day or two before that he had had a serious altercation with Altaf Gauhar who wanted Ayub Khan to continue. In 1969, Gauhar was initially marginalized as Director Finance Services Academy Lahore, a position much lower in rank than a Central Secretary. Subsequently he was dismissed from service and all his four civil awards were forfeited.
