First Sikh joins Pak Rangers 

ISLAMABAD: Amarjeet Singh, 25, has become the first Sikh to be inducted as an officer in the paramilitary Pakistan Rangers after recently completing his training at the Rangers Academy in Mandi Bahauddin. He is a resident of Nankana Sahib, the birthplace of Guru Nanak.

He was among 763 officials who passed out from the Rangers Academy.

Lt Gen Nadeem, the Army's Corps Commander for Mangla, said Amarjeet's level of motivation was the same as that of other officers. Nearly four years ago, Harcharan Singh, also a resident of Nankana Sahib, was selected as the first Sikh officer in the Pakistan Army.

In August, Gyan Chand became the first Hindu to join Pakistan's foreign service.
