Gum Nam Sapahi Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali (R.A) Ki Zubaani
Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah was born at Karachi on December 25, 1876. He was a lawyer and politician who fought for the cause of India's independence from Britain, then moved on to found a Muslim state in Pakistan in 1947. Jinnah entered politics in India in 1905 and by 1917 his charisma and diplomacy had made him a national leader and the most visible supporter of Hindu-Muslim unity. His strong belief in gradual and peaceful change was in contrast to the civil disobedience strategies of Mohandas Gandhi, and in the '30s Jinnah broke from the Indian National Congress to focus on an independent Muslim state. In 1940 he demanded a separate nation in Pakistan and by 1947 he managed to get it from the British and India. Through civil wars, a rotten economy and millions of displaced refugees, Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah ("the great leader") pretty much built a country from scratch.

She was an instrumental figure in the Pakistan movement and the primary organizer of the All India Muslim Women Students Federation. After the formation of Pakistan and the death of her brother, she remained an active member of the nation's politics. Fatima Jinnah died in Karachi on July 9, 1967

Therefore, to salute the soldiers of Pakistan Army who fought showing bravery and courage and gave their lives for our great country have been awarded the highest military honor the Nishaan-e-Haider to those who embraced shahadat in the most heroic manner while inflicting heavy damage to the adversary in times of war and battles fought on borders. At the age of 38, soon after the birth of Pakistan, during the Kashmir operations in 1948, as Company Commander in the 2nd Battalion of the Punjab Regiment, Captain Sarwar became a worthy recipient of this military award after he launched an attack causing heavy casualties against a strongly fortified enemy position in the Uri Sector under heavy machine-gun, grenade and mortar fire, while moving forward with six of his men to cut their way through barbed wires and barriers, he died when his chest was riddled by a burst of automatic fire.

The Indo-Pakistani conflict in 1965 was fought over Kashmir and started without a formal declaration of war. The war began on August 5, the initial battles between India and Pakistan were contained within Kashmir involving both infantry and armor units with each country's air force playing major roles while the largest engagement of the war occurred in the Sialkot region. Pakistan's army had been able to withstand Indian pressure, but suffered great loses of some 3000 troops as our soldiers proved their abilities as one Pakistani soldier was equal to four Indian soldiers at that time.

Major Raja Aziz Bhatti
A glorious and cherished example of the fact is the heroic martyrdom of the very famous Major Aziz Bhatti, who had been awarded the sword of honor as a cadet carried out his duty towards the nation with unconquerable professionalism and dedication an example of which can eloquently be explained by an incident occurring a day before his death, in which his commanding officer had sent to him word that since he had been fighting untiringly for the last six days, he should take a little rest and that another officer was being sent to replace him. Major Aziz brimming with battle spirit and the will for martyrdom declined the offer to go back and fought till the last drop of his blood was shed for his beloved homeland. As the company commander, Major Bhatti chose to move his platoon forward under constant firing from Indian tanks and artillery. He resisted for five days and nights defending a Pakistani outpost on the strategic BRB canal. On 11 September, he was reorganizing his company and directing the gunners to shell the enemy positions. In order to watch every move of the enemy, he had to place himself in an elevated position, where he was exposed to enemy fire. He led his men from the front under constant attack from Indian Artillery batteries. Although he countered every Indian offensive in his area, he was hit by an enemy tank shell in the chest while watching the enemy's moves, and thus dying instantly. His death struck many hard and is remembered by his countrymen and was awarded Nishaan-e-Haider for his utmost commitment and determination

Rashid Minhas Shaheed
The youngest recipient of Nishan-e-Haider, Pilot Officer Rashid Minhas, while still under training, was taxiing for take-off on a routine flight on August 20, 1971 when an Instructor Pilot forced his way into the rear cockpit, seized control of the aircraft and took off. Keeping his wits together, Minhas realized that the intruding pilot was heading towards India, he tried to regain control of the aircraft but could not manage it against the superior skill and experience of the seasoned instructor. With only forty miles to go to cross over into Indian territory, he made yet another effort to steer the aircraft back to the base. Realizing the futility of the struggle, he so interfered with the controls as to render the Instructor Pilot helpless and force the aircraft to crash 32 miles short of the border, knowing that it meant certain death. For the supreme sacrifice that he made for the honor of his country, Pilot Officer Minhas was awarded Nishan-e-Haider.

It has to be made evident that the army has played its due share in the purgation of the motherland and its generous sacrifices can be hidden from none. The credit has to be awarded to the Pakistan army who has most valiantly countered the terrorist and successfully managed to expel all evil and secured the area for the inhabitants who had no power of their own. During the operation many militant hideouts were exposed which had served as the hub of Al Qaeda networking while capturing most of the militant leadership and stopping them from escaping. This has been possible only with the fearless and heroic offering of our soldiers who have been kidnapped, slaughtered and imprisoned but have rendered the internal enemy as defunct while engaging our age old rivals on the eastern borders simultaneously

One such recent example of valiance was seen, while killing 32 militants, after the militants ambushed a security forces check post at Kalaya, as six security personals including Lt Colonel Anwar Abbas embraced Shahadat. According to reports Shaheed Colonel Abbas received bullet injuries when he himself was going to rescue the soldiers attacked by the miscreants. This, and many other glorious models of military sacrificial incidents, with which our history is replete, unearth the true patriotic path they follow till they breathe their last.
