Captain Ahsan Malik Ke Talash Mai - Rauf Klasra (Tribute for Pak Army & young officers!)
Re: Captain Ahsan Malik Ke Talash Mai - Rauf Klasra
this Idiotic looking Rauf Kalasra, should have googled before writing this article, and how can he write that the offr was punished on his return .... bunch of bloody stupids we have in our country for all other users here is teh story about the brave offr who was awarded Sitar e Jurat, and he was from 31 Balooch Regiment, his action has been well acknowledged by both enemy and own.
Battle of Kamalpur
Attacks against Pakistani border outposts in the north had begun in July. These were mounted by Mukti Bahini, mainly former members of East Pakistan's regular forces, but failed to make any impression. Further attacks on Kamalpur, a kilometre from the border, came on 22 October and 14 November, the latter being made by 13 Guards Battalion (of Kler's brigade), which established blocking positions to the south. Malik was cut off and his CO, Lt. Col. Sultan Mahmood tried to relive him and the other two outposts (Naqshi and Baromari, to the east) without success. On 29 November (all this before 'war' broke out) Major Ayub of 31 Baloch tried to resupply Malik's tiny garrison but failed.
Kler tried to take Kamalpur on the run, using Mukti Bahini troops, and failed. He then mounted a battalion attack by 1 Maratha Light Infantry on the forty men and four 120mm mortars of 83 Mortar battery and overran them, suffering one casualty. Kler then 'decided to lay siege to Kamalpur and break down its will to resist', according to General Sukhwant Singh (1981 'The Liberation of Bangladesh,Vol. 1, New Delhi: Vikas Publishing House.). Getting wary because of casualties, successive failures and demoralisation among the attacking troops, he decided to starve out the garrison by a prolonged siege. ' A brigade is demoralised by a company? Sukhwant Singh knew that there was no Pakistani Artillery in this sector, only two troops of mortars, but states that Kler was '...further handicapped inasmuch as one of his battalions had just been reorganised from (a unit) raised initially for counterinsurgency with no support elements. In tackling a weak platoon post, another battalion brought out some weaknesses of leadership under fire. The battalion reached its objective with relatively few casualties. As expected, the enemy turned mortar fire on the objective. A mortar bomb landed on the trench occupied by four men close to the commanding officer (Colonel). He saw limbs fly and lost his nerve.'
On the other hand Captain Ahsan Malik did not lose his nerve when much worse was happening in his area and he was fighting an unwinnable battle against overwhelming odds.
At about 0930 on 4 December, 'after withdrawing his troops from close siege, Kler 'hammered the post with seven sorties of MiG 21s firing rockets and cannon and this was repeated twice later in the day'. Maj. General Gurbux Singh (commander of the north region) himself entered affairs by sending Captain Malik a note by a Mukti Bahini courier:'...whatever you decide to do we have every intention of eliminating Kamalpur post. It is to save you and our side casualties this message is being sent to you...'. He sent another note after a further air strike and this was met, as had been the other messages, by increased firing by Malik's men. But it could not go on, Malik received the order by radio to surrender, which he did at 1900 that day.
'He had,'as Sukhwant Singh goes on to say,'put up a courageous stand....and surrendered after holding a brigade of beseigers for 21 days....Sam Manekshaw sent a personal congratulatory message to Malik commending his defiant stand.' and wrote 'Militarily his performance was excellent'.[1]
Maj. Gen. Gurbux Singh decided to meet Malik personally but, while being driven towards Kamalpur by Kler to meet the brave Captain, their jeep went over a mine and he was badly wounded.
When Captain Ahsan Malik's force was taken in, it was found that his company was nearly out of ammunition, barring a few hand grenades and a few bullets each. They were ready to fling themselves on the enemy with daggers and bayonets if it came to that, until they realized that the piece of territory they were defending was already a different country. Nothing remained there to die for.
When he returned to Pakistan, he was decorated with a Sitara-e-Jurrat which is the third highest military award in Pakistan. Later on, Field Marshal Manekshaw acknowledged the bravery of his men in a letter written to his Pakistani counterpart.

Re: Captain Ahsan Malik Ke Talash Mai - Rauf Klasra
Similar type of column By Hamid Mir today, just disgracing army and Judiciary.
A lay man can even see what both columnists are trying to do, Its clear they want to save this corrupt govt. by humiliating army.

یہ ہی ہماری شان ہے
ہم اپنے ہیروں اور محسنوں کو یاد نہیں رکھتے
صرف یہ ہی کپٹن نہیں بلکہ ایسے بے شمار محسن موجود ہیں
دور کیوں جایں ہمارے "محسن ملت " ڈاکٹر قدیر خان کے ساتھہ ہم کس طرح کا سلوک کر رہے ہیں
وہ شخص جسے اپنے سر پر بیٹھنا چاہیے ہم نے اسے نظر بند کر رکھا ہے
آج ان نام نہاد سیاست دانوں میں کوئی ایک بھی ایسا نہیں جو اس عظیم شخص کی قدر کو پہچانے اور آواز بلند کرے
اگر آج ہم اپنے محسنوں کو بھلا دیں تو تاریخ بھی ہمیں بھلا دے گی

I am sure that Captain Ehsan Malik will never come forward with this information because what he did he did for his country and as a part of his sworn duty. There are many such heroes in Pakistan, officers, jawans and millions of civilians.
May Allah give them Jaza-e- Khair and bless them and their families in this life and after life.
Pakistan Army has and always will be faithful to the nation, unfortunatley people make sweeping statemenst about this institution basing their evaluations on some misdirected anger, may Allah also guide those people and help them to see the truth.

We are responsible for this dilema. If Captain Ahsan Malik run in next election he will not be able to win a single seat, if Dr Qadeer Khan establishes a party his party will be defeated by the thugs called the Madaris, Lootos, Bhagorays and Badmashs. Do you know why?

There are many many unknown stories of our Jawans and Officiers from borders even in peace time. Some time they are ( Ghazi ) and other occasion
they are shaheed. I would say, our army is now Pakistans Peoples Army, because they have been built from all over pakistani society, with known and unknown heros !
Think about yourself ? When you work hard in foreign countries and represent your peaceful Islamic character and help your relatives and needy people in Pakistan
then you are as well heros ? May Allah protect us all and give us lot of success with wealth and future, Aameen, Allahhafiz.
