CITATION OF PAF SHAHEEDS

Flt Lt Muhammad Wasim Ansari
(Tamgha-i-Basalat)

Flight Lieutenant Muhammad Wasim Ansari, a signals officer, achieved Shahadat as a result of a direct bomb hit on his place of work. This officer, inspired by a feeling of patriotism, carried on working under extremely dangerous conditions. This was above and beyond the call of duty. He has been awarded the Tamgha-i-Basalat.

Flying Officer Nasim Nisar Ali Baig
(Tamgha-i-Jurat)

Flying Officer Nasim Nisar Ali Baig flew a total of eight successful operational missions during the 1971 war. During all those missions he displayed exemplary courage, dedication and professionalism in spite of his limited experience. On 13th December, ‘71, he was ordered to get airborne from a forward base to intercept intruding enemy aircraft. Immediately after take-off he was intercepted by 3 enemy fighters. Placed in a very vulnerable situation, Flying Officer Baig manoeuvred his aircraft with determination and aggressiveness but was unable to gain an advantageous position because he was outnumbered during a critical stage of flight. He was subsequently shot down and fatally injured. For his valour, courage and undaunted spirit he has been awarded the Tamgha-i-Jurat.

Corporal Technician
Syed Shaukat Ali
(Tamgha-i-Jurat)

While a POW in India he conducted himself in an upright and fearless manner. He twice tried to escape from the POW camp. In the second attempt he received serious bullet injuries; even then he pounced upon the armed guard in a bid to prevent him from firing at his colleague Corporal Technician Nawab. For his outstanding and excellent performance he has been awarded the Tamgha-i-Jurat.

Junior Technician Muhammad Latif
(Tamgha-i-Jurat)

During an enemy air raid, realising that the pilots strapped in air defence alert aircraft were exposed to grave danger, he disregarded his personal safety, ran up to each aircraft and helped the pilots to unstrap and take cover. In this process he was fatally wounded by enemy fire and died soon after. For his outstanding courage and devotion to duty he has been awarded the Tamgha-i-Jurat.

Leading Aircraftman
Muhammad Azam Nasir
(Tamgha-i-Jurat)

During an enemy air raid at PAF Chander, instead of taking shelter, he proudly faced the Indian bomber with G-3 rifle and kept on firing at the attacking aircraft. A bomb fell about 6 yards from his trench and buried him along with other occupants of the trench. All except he were dug out alive. For his outstanding courage and devotion to duty he has been awarded the Tamgha-i-Jurat.
