FAREWELL ZAHIR UL ISLAM

A beautiful and memorable get together was arranged by Zahir ul Islam at the Flag Staff House on a very delicious and sumptuous dinner. All but Zahid Akbar and Asim attended. It was an occasion which was almost last function of the Karachi Chapter with Zahir ul Islam as the Corps Comd Karachi. Coincidently Jamil was here at Karachi from Canada and he became the Lucky one who attended two get together of Karachi Chapter of 55th within a span of two days.
It was a gathering with all having mixed emotions. A moment of joy and pride that Zahir ul Islam was going as DG ISI, an honour for 55th and of sadness as Zahir ul Islam was leaving Karachi for his next appointment. 
Very emotional addresses were delivered by Wasif on behalf of all officers of the 55th Karachi Chapter and reciprocated by Zahir ul Islam. Savenior of 55th Karachi Chapter was given to Jamil by the hands of Zahir ul Islam. Jamil was also handed over saveniors for the three 55th representatives at Canada to be handed over by Jamil. A sevenior was also given to Jamil to be handed over to the family of the deceased Shahid Aslam. 
The function ended with lot of exchange of love and affections at around mid Night. Below are the photo coverage of the occasion for those 55thains who were present but not there.
