Gurkha who beheaded Taliban soldier in Afghanistan battle cleared to return

Couldnt be, because till 2009, Pakistan's official stand had been that no Pakistani soldier had been involved in the Kargil war (though Musharraf did let the cat out of the bag in his memoirs in 2006).. Its only in 2009, that the names of Kargil martyrs were listed on the Pakistani army web site.. As a matter of fact the Indian officer who recommended him for nishan-e-haider was first told that since no Pakistani soldier was involved in the battle, there is no question of a gallantry award...

I just gave u a link from 2006.Calling him a Martyred (NH)... at the time of kargil i was just 9 years old .. so i dnt have the exact date of it all...

Just because the Pak army was updated in 2009 doesn't mean he was also awarded NH in that year. He was awarded NH right after the war.

I am sure there would be an announcement to that effect of that time then.. No? After all its the biggest gallantry award of Pakistan

Dear Members,
once again there is no choice left but to close the thread as the latest pages lack any relevance to the story and are mainly a flame war, nonetheless some of you have received infractions when they will pile up you will be on "forced leave of Absence" please dont be surprised why that happened to you although you were a Pakistani or just because you were Indian.
the forum rules dont discriminate on the bases of nationality.
