TRIBUTE TO PAKISTANI ARMY

LAST WORDS:

Even in his last moments, Khan Liaqat Ali Khan was thinking of his nation. Other then remembering God and reciting the kalima, his last words were “Allah Pakistan ko apni amaan main rakhay “(God keep Pakistan under His protection)

Courtesy Rahat Minhas: this is conversation between Pilot Officer Rashid Minhas and air control at PAF Base Masroor around 1130 am on August 20, 1971 (transcript below).

Rashid's aircraft, whose call sign was 166, got hijacked and he crashed it in order to prevent its crossing into India (it was carrying only him and the hijacker). He was posthumously awarded the highest military award, Nishan-i-Haider, and this recording was broadcast in a radio documentary about him soon afterwards.

A visitor ("PureHoney") has kindly provided the following transcript although some of the words may still be doubtful:

0:23 "166 is Hijacked" (Rashid Minhas Shaheed)
0:30 "166 Hijacked" (Rashid Minhas Shaheed)
0:38 "Hijacked by whom, over" (Control Tower)
0:40 "166 is Hijacked" (Rashid Minhas Shaheed)
0:42 "Hijacked by whom" (Control Tower)
0:50 "By whom, over" (Control Tower)
0:52 "166 is Hijacked" (Rashid Minhas Shaheed)

           Great were those who lead their lives for their country Pakistan. We will never forget what they have done for the safety of this beloved country. A special tribute to those mothers who start training their sons from his first day. We salute those soldiers who always fought from the front.

HEROS

QUAID-E-AZAM

"Few individuals significantly alter the course of history. Fewer still modify the map of the world. Hardly anyone can be credited with creating a nation-state. Mohammad Ali Jinnah did all three."

Stanley Wolpert

Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah the founder of Pakistan was born in Karachi on December 25th, 1876. He got his early education at Karachi and at the age of 16 he went to England for further studies. In 1896, Jinnah qualified for the Bar and in 1897 was called to the Bar. It was his struggle that despite stiff opposition from the Hindu Congress and the British Govt., Muslims of Sub continent managed to get their own home land on August 14, 1947. Jinnah was a man of principles. He was probably the only person among all the big leaders of the world, who never went to jail. He was the first Governor General of Pakistan.

His motto was Unity, Faith and Discipline.

[edit]

Pakistan is a land of varied and unique landscape. While high mountain ranges dominate its North, series of low mountain ranges of Suleman, Pub, Kirthar and Mekran extend from North to Southwest and to South in a bone like manner. These low ranges dominate the plains and deserts to the East and warm and captivating beaches of the Arabian Sea to the South. It is, however, Northern Pakistan which is endowed with most unique geographical feature in the world. It is here that the three great, lofty and spectacular mountain ranges, Karakoram, Hindukush and Himalayas meet. In an area of about 500 kms in width and 350 kms in depth, is found the most dense collection of some of the highest and precipitous peaks in the world, boasting more than 700 peaks above 6000 metres, and more than 160 peaks above 7000 metres.

These include five out of the total fourteen above eight thousand metre high peaks on earth, namely the second highest rock pyramid - the K-2 (8611 m), the killer mountain Nanga Parbat (8125 m), the Hidden Peak, Gasherbrum I (8068 m), the Broad Peak (8047 m) and the Gasherbrum II (8035 m). This enormous mountain wealth makes Pakistan an important mountain country, offering great opportunities for mountaineering and mountain related adventure activities. The area is aptly called a paradise for mountaineers, adventure seekers and nature lovers. The compelling charm of these high, challenging, endless sea of rugged rock and ice pinnacles lure large number of climbers, adventure seekers and nature lovers from across the five continents to the Northern Areas and Chitral, each year.
