The 123rd NMC Book Club at the Pakistan Administrative Staff College hosted the launch of two distinguished works: Balochistan: Air-Panoramas and Landscapes by Mr. Aziz Jamali, and Walking a Tightrope: Police, Politics, and People of Pakistan by Mr. Tariq Khosa. Opening the event, Club Chairman Mr. Naeem Ullah Khan honoured both the craft and character of the authors. Introductions by Mr. Tafakhar Ali Asdi and Mr. Muhammad Ali Nekokara, along with a thoughtful review by Dr. Muhammad Jamil Afaqi, underscored the books’ unique value – one capturing the province’s splendour through vivid imagery, the other offering a candid memoir enriched with engaging anecdotes from a distinguished career.
In their remarks, both authors spoke with warmth and conviction about their work and values. Mr. Jamali invited the audience to witness Balochistan’s landscapes with both admiration and respect, while Mr. Khosa read excerpts from his book, sharing episodes that revealed the moral choices and human experiences behind his service. The evening concluded with book signings and animated conversation, reminding participants that literature grounded in truth and courage endures as a lasting testament to integrity.
