Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, HI(M)
An ICBian Who Makes Us Proud
ICBian.com is honoured to celebrate the remarkable journey of Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, a distinguished alumnus of Islamabad College for Boys (ICB), whose achievements reflect the values of excellence, leadership, and national service that we hold dear.
General Ahmed Sharif is a three-star General in the Pakistan Army and is currently serving as the 22nd Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) — the media and public relations wing of the Pakistan Armed Forces. He assumed this prestigious position on 6th December 2022, marking a historic milestone as the first-ever officer from the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering (EME) Corps to lead ISPR.
Born into a family of intellect and distinction, General Sharif is the son of Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood, a prominent nuclear scientist of Pakistan. His lineage traces back to the respected Bhullar Zamindar family, adding further depth to his roots in service and leadership.
Before his current role, he served with distinction as the Director General of the Defense Science and Technology Organization (DESTO), reflecting his deep commitment to strengthening Pakistan’s technological and defense capabilities.
In May 2025, during a period of heightened conflict between India and Pakistan, General Ahmed Sharif emerged as a central figure in shaping national and international discourse. In his role as DG ISPR, he led Pakistan’s media strategy with clarity and resolve during a critical time. He powerfully represented Pakistan’s stance following Indian airstrikes under “Operation Sindoor,” condemning the actions and asserting Pakistan’s right to self-defense. His press briefings, marked by composure and strength, played a vital role in managing public perception and reinforcing the country’s narrative globally.
General Sharif also oversaw and communicated Pakistan’s strategic response — Operation “Bunyan al-Marsoos” — ensuring that the message of national sovereignty and resilience was clearly conveyed to the world. His efforts in shaping public opinion, managing sensitive international narratives, and highlighting the humanitarian impact of the conflict were widely recognized and respected.
We at ICB take immense pride in General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry’s contributions to the nation. His dedication, leadership, and intellect exemplify the true spirit of an ICBian — one who rises with integrity, serves with honour, and leads with vision.
