Coward Pakistan has lost every war against India but Pakistani army officers still wear medals on their uniforms due to...
New Delhi: Pakistan has fought several wars with India and has lost all of them. Not only against India, but whenever Pakistan encounters other countries, the Pakistani army has to face humiliation. However, whenever you see a Pakistani army officer, they are usually adorned with several medals on their uniform. In this context, a common question arises, if the Pakistani army always faces defeat, then what are the soldiers carrying so many medals for? Let's explore the story behind these medals of the Pakistan Army.
Pakistan has lost to India in the India-Pakistan War (1947-48), the India-Pakistan War (1965), the India-Pakistan War (1971), and the Kargil War (1999). In fact, Pakistan faces not only military defeat but also diplomatic losses. Then why does Pakistan award medals? It should be noted that every country's army awards its soldiers medals based on their service, bravery, etc.
Medals are given for participation in battles, bravery, or contribution in special operations. For this reason, many soldiers in Pakistan have been awarded medals even after defeats. Additionally, medals are awarded not only for wars but also for internal operations, such as Pakistan's Operation Zarb-e-Azb. Medals and decorations are a tradition in every country's army.
Just as India has not fought any war for many years, yet medals related to peace time are being awarded to soldiers by the army, a similar situation exists in Pakistan. The Pakistani army has awarded its soldiers for the battles of 1948, 1965, and 1971, as well as for the 1970 operations in Balochistan, the Siachen dispute, Shiite insurgency, and internal affairs.
Pakistan's highest military bravery award is the Nishan-e-Haider. This medal is awarded only to members of the Pakistan Armed Forces. It recognizes the highest acts of extraordinary bravery. Following this are the Hilal-e-Jurat, Sitara-e-Jurat, Tamgha-e-Jurat, and Imtiazi Sanad. Non-operational awards include Sitara-e-Bisat, Tamgha-e-Bisat, Tamgha-e-Khidmat Class-1, Tamgha-e-Khidmat Class-2, and Tamgha-e-Khidmat Class-3. Civil-military awards include Nishan-e-Imtiaz, Hilal-e-Imtiaz, Sitara-e-Imtiaz, Tamgha-e-Imtiaz, and Tamgha-e-Khidmat.

'Am I going to war ... ': Pakistan politician Sherry Rehman gets flustered when grilled on Pakistan's terror links; watch video
Sherry Rehman Former Pakistani ambassador Sherry Rehman engaged in a heated exchange with Sky News when asked questions over allegations of Pakistan harbouring terrorist organizations, particularly in light of the recent Pahalgam attack. When questioned about Brigade 313, which TRAC (Terrorism Research and Analysis Consortium) analysts identify as an Al Qaeda-affiliated umbrella group operating in Pakistan, Rehman responded defensively. "I don't know who told you this, but I can produce any number of pages saying all this," she retorted, suggesting the creation of a "digital dossier" to counter such claims. She further deflected by pointing to India's internal conflicts: "Are we responsible for all 100 insurgencies running in India?" — SkyYaldaHakim (@SkyYaldaHakim) The interviewer, Hakim, referenced " Operation Sindoor ," which targeted nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) following the Pahalgam attack. UN-designated terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) had also confirmed that its top commander Masood Asghar and ten family members were killed in Bahawalpur during these strikes. Rehman's cryptic response, "Children are not leaders," was followed by her questioning the credibility of international analysts. "Most of the analysts you're quoting are aligned with India's narrative. They only tell India's story," she argued, dismissing claims about Brigade 313's Al Qaeda connections. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 오스템 임플란트 받아가세요 임플란터 더 알아보기 Undo Rehman has long been a prominent voice in Pakistani politics.

"Pakistan lost on battlefield, diplomatic front...": BJP MP Nishikant Dubey
New Delhi [India], June 10 (ANI): BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, who was part of a delegation led by senior party leader Baijayant Panda, took aim at Pakistan and stated that the country has suffered setbacks both on the battlefield and in the diplomatic front, implying that it has faced repeated defeats--not only in its military confrontations but also in its efforts to gather international support. 'Pakistan has lost on the battlefield and diplomatic front,' Dubey said, pointing to the country's diminishing support among traditionally close allies. Speaking to ANI about the all-party delegation visit, Nishikant Dubey said, 'Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the central government decided that seven all-party delegations would travel to key partner countries to convey India's message of zero tolerance against terrorism following the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor. Our delegation visited Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait and Algeria under the leadership of BJP MP Baijayant Panda.' The BJP MP said, 'Saudi Arabia is against terrorism. It is following the policy of zero tolerance. I am reiterating that Pakistan has lost on the battlefield and the diplomatic front. It is troubled on the diplomatic front, which is also why the Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif had to visit Saudi Arabia.' Dubey also spoke about Operation Sindoor and said, 'After Operation Sindoor was launched, PM Modi gave a free hand to the armed forces to retaliate against the terrorists in response to the terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22. We had 'Made in India' weapons such as the BrahMos and Akash missiles in India. We targeted terrorist bases in Pakistan. We saw how the Pakistani army attended funerals of the terrorists, reflecting that their military and terrorists were the same. We clarified that trade and blood cannot go together.' Asked about India's cessation of hostilities with Pakistan, Nishikant Dubey said, 'India does not want to go towards war. India is the country of Lord Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi, but this does not mean that we are weak. We have shown the world that we are not only the fourth largest economy today, but we are also very strong strategically.' '..If Pakistan does not agree now, then there will be no talks with anyone, there will be a direct countries are united against the issue of terrorism,' Dubey said. The all-party delegation led by BJP MP Baijayant Panda concluded its four-country visit and returned to India on June 2. The delegation, led by Panda, includes BJP MPs Nishikant Dubey, Phangnon Konyak and Rekha Sharma; AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi; Satnam Singh Sandhu and Ghulam Nabi Azad; and former Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla. The delegation, during their visit, briefed the international partners on India's response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, its broader fight against cross-border terrorism, while engaging with leaders in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Algeria. Earlier, Panda said that India's appeal to place Pakistan back on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list is gaining significant resonance globally, emphasising the role of illicit financing in fuelling terrorism. Panda highlighted Pakistan's misuse of funds for terrorism and its military, noting that the other Islamic countries had taken a strong stand against any kind of fundamentalism in their country. 'Pakistan is not interested in improving itself or helping its people. They have diverted the money for terrorism and its army and looted it. Two things fuel terrorism. One is ideology and the other is illicit finance... Ideology-wise, these Islamic countries have taken a strong stand... They do not permit any kind of fundamentalism from their soil... Financing part is the other aspect,' Panda stated. 'Pakistan, for many years, was under FATF, which monitored the legitimate use of funding, and thus there was a period of lull in terrorism... For the last couple of years, they have been released from the grey list, and now they are operating freely... Our appeal to them that Pakistan should be kept on the FATF grey list is getting a lot of resonance. The world is committed to not tolerating terrorism anymore,' he added. Greylisting Pakistan by the FATF will limit its access to international loans. Pakistan was included in the grey list in 2018 and removed from it in 2022. India has stated that it will leave no stone unturned to bring Pakistan onto the grey list again. (ANI)
