mod edit: salute to shaheed from pakwheels
A gifted child ..a humble n smiling MCJ cadet .. an ideal PMA senior .. a high profile officer .. a hard core soldier .. a lovely son .. a caring brother .. n most of all a " SHAHEED" for the nation ... CAPTAIN Waqas Zameer Shaheed ( Sitara-e-jurat) (peace time equivalent of nishn e haider ) "On the night of 28th july'08 Waqas was called from kanju post as he was going back home after a highly successful stay at swat for 15 ff .. he talked to his family that m coming .. But later that night an operation was planned to search n quarden 5 to 10 miscreants .. his junior LT Mohsin said sir app raat k jagay hain mai chala jata hun .. he refused n with a smile replied "lalay apna khayal rakhen" .. then he offered prayers with his troops recited Surah kausar motivated them n they started the operation .. Waqas was the commander nd was leadin 3 APC'S with infantry troops of 6 AK .. on their way the few miscreants fired rockets at Waqas's APC .. which missed nd waqas shot dead the person who fired them .. as they went a bit forward .. fire from all sides opened at them ..they had the wrong information that there r 5 to 10 miscreants but there were more den 100 .. and fierce fighting started .. meanwhile our soldiers got injured ..Waqas jumped off the APC .. and using the tactics of fire and move he started rescuing the injured with his troops following him .. the fight went on for 5 hours .. as he shifted 14 injured soldiers .. as they were about to move .. Waqas was back in the APC .. at that moment one of 6AKs soldier got shot .. he shouted "isay uthao" .. but every person was on his position .. he jumped off again nd fired in forward direction n picked him on his shoulders n took him to the APC .. as he was about to shift him in .. he was shot just above the chest(Neck) .. he Shouted ""Allah o Akbar"" .. (mashallah) n fell .. even in that state he ordered his troops k is banday ko nikalo .. waqas was shifted in the APC .. but due to to much blood coming from his mouth he cudnt ..speak but he kept on reciting from his fingers .. shahadat ki ungli right haath ki khari thi n dusra hath zikar ki position mai .. n Embraced shahadat ( MAshahallah ) . His family received his body after 32 hours of his departure but even then fresh blood was coming ( MAshallah ) with both hands in the same position (mashallah ) .. n as his family was about to bury him .. uski ankhien khud ba khud band hugai ( Mashallah) .. ajj bi uski kabar se khushbu aati hai .. all 15 soldiers that he saved MAshallah all r alive including the 1 whom he was holding while he was shot true example of a shaheed ..
