Pakistan Offers Full Military Tribute To ‘Kargil War Hero’ Whose Body It Refused To Accept Earlier

Captain Karnal Sher Khan, a Pakistani soldier once disowned by his own country during the 1999 Kargil War, is now being hailed as a national hero in Pakistan 26 years later. But it was the Indian Army, specifically Brigadier MPS Bajwa, who first honoured his bravery. During the bloody battle to retake Tiger Hill, Brigadier Bajwa was so moved by Sher Khan’s courage that he penned a tribute and placed it in Khan’s pocket after his death, ensuring Pakistan could not deny its own hero. Now, Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir and top brass have paid full military honours to Sher Khan, posthumously awarded the Nishan-e-Haider, the country’s highest gallantry award. The twist? Pakistan had initially refused to claim his body, attempting to cover up military involvement. It took an Indian officer’s respect to rewrite the story.#kargilwar #pakistanarmy #pakistan #captainsherkhan #india #indianarmy #brigmpsbajwa #tigerhill #nishanehaider #asimmunir #indianarmy #pakistanarmy #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews
