00:00:30Assalam-o-Alaikum. Good morning. Good morning Pakistan.

00:00:47I welcome you all to this beautiful morning.

00:00:50This morning is beautiful for some people.

00:00:53In fact, it is beautiful for most people.

00:00:55But this morning is for those people who sacrificed their lives for their people.

00:01:05Sacrificed for their country.

00:01:08Sacrificed for their country.

00:01:11Maybe this morning will remind them of the pieces of their hearts.

00:01:18I am talking.

00:01:20You all know that today Defense Day is celebrated.

00:01:23We celebrate it on 6th September.

00:01:26And all those young men and women who are working in the army.

00:01:39Those young men and women who come to this profession after making sacrifices.

00:01:47And they protect us.

00:01:49They protect their people.

00:01:51No matter what forces they belong to.

00:01:55It seems easy to say this.

00:01:58But ask those parents who promise their children to join the army.

00:02:05They have a craze.

00:02:07That we have to send our children to the army.

00:02:11And when their children salute their parents after their training.

00:02:19The happiness they feel is more than any other happiness.

00:02:25But if their children are sacrificed while protecting us.

00:02:38Then we can't feel the pain.

00:02:44Because the plant that they have planted.

00:02:48It falls down before it becomes a tree.

00:02:54So we celebrate this day so that we can remember those martyrs.

00:03:01Remember their sacrifices.

00:03:03And remind you.

00:03:06That this country is ours.

00:03:08And the guards who protect it are also ours.

00:03:13So let's remember those sacrifices that have been made for us.

00:03:22For our country.

00:03:24For our safety.

00:03:27Stay with us after a short break.

00:03:30Good morning Pakistan.

00:03:31Good morning Pakistan.

00:03:36Welcome, welcome back.

00:03:37Good morning Pakistan.

00:03:38The family that I am going to introduce to you.

00:03:42That is the family of the martyred Major Ayaz Hussain Qurai.

00:03:51And his entire family is present here.

00:03:53It is a very beautiful and lovely family.

00:03:56And I will be able to know something about Major Ayaz Hussain Qurai.

00:04:04So sitting in front of me is the retired Subedar Mumtaz Hussain.

00:04:09Assalam-o-Alaikum.

00:04:10Walaikum Assalam.

00:04:11This is his father.

00:04:12Janat Khatun Sahiba.

00:04:15Assalam-o-Alaikum.

00:04:16This is his mother.

00:04:18Riaz Hussain is his brother.

00:04:22Are you the elder brother?

00:04:23Yes.

00:04:24And he has two lovely sisters.

00:04:27Shahista Mumtaz and Shagufta Mumtaz.

00:04:30Thank you for being on the show today.

00:04:33So today we are going to pay tribute to all the martyrs.

00:04:38And your brother is also no more in this world.

00:04:42And he is obviously a martyr.

00:04:44It is a matter of pride for the parents.

00:04:46Of course.

00:04:47It is very difficult for the children.

00:04:49Obviously the memory troubles them.

00:04:52But martyrdom is a very big title.

00:04:56And I would like to talk to you about that.

00:05:00First of all, I would like to talk about Major Ayaz Hussain.

00:05:05When he was martyred, what was his age?

00:05:08Was he martyred in 2020?

00:05:11Yes, he was almost 33 years old.

00:05:14And on 26th December 2020, he was on a mission in Skardu.

00:05:21Because he was a pilot, he was with him.

00:05:24And two or three others were also with him.

00:05:28So they went on a mission,

00:05:30in which a young man had come in the snow,

00:05:34in the snowy field.

00:05:36So he went to recover his body.

00:05:40So this is how his return flight took place.

00:05:43And he was martyred.

00:05:45So before his martyrdom,

00:05:47did any of you talk to him?

00:05:50Do you remember his last words or last words?

00:05:54Yes, his mother spoke to his wife.

00:05:59Because one day before,

00:06:01he sent his family home from Skardu.

00:06:04One day before?

00:06:05Yes, on 25th December, his family was there.

00:06:08Because it was cold, so they returned home.

00:06:11And the next day, he had his first mission in the morning.

00:06:15So he told his wife that

00:06:17he was going to a place in Minimarg.

00:06:19He had a mission there.

00:06:21So he sent his family, his wife and his children.

00:06:24How many children does he have?

00:06:26He has three children.

00:06:27He has two sons and one daughter.

00:06:29His last daughter is four years old.

00:06:31So did he send them to you or to his own house?

00:06:34He lives in Karachi.

00:06:36He sent them to us,

00:06:38but on the first day, he was at his mother's house.

00:06:44So on the next day, he had his mission.

00:06:47He told his family that he was going on a mission.

00:06:54When it was late hours,

00:06:57he couldn't get in touch with his wife.

00:07:02So he called her himself,

00:07:04but her number was switched off.

00:07:06Then she called me and said,

00:07:08I have a problem.

00:07:10I can't get in touch with Kaal.

00:07:15Then I contacted his unit.

00:07:18They explained to me that he had gone on a mission,

00:07:23but his flight has not been confirmed yet.

00:07:28The plane is missing.

00:07:30How many hours later did you find out?

00:07:34On the same day, 26th December,

00:07:37at 6.30 pm,

00:07:39it was a cold day,

00:07:41so the night fell.

00:07:43They told us that the plane was missing.

00:07:47We are trying to trace it.

00:07:50Anyway, since there is no flying at night,

00:07:54we realized that there was something wrong.

00:08:00You yourself were in the army.

00:08:03Yes, I was in the army.

00:08:05I was aware of the situation in that area.

00:08:09Our helicopters don't fly at night.

00:08:14When they told us that they were searching for it,

00:08:19we got suspicious.

00:08:22We contacted them again and again.

00:08:25Finally, at 10 pm,

00:08:27they confirmed to us that

00:08:29their location has been traced.

00:08:33All the people who were on the plane,

00:08:38they were all injured,

00:08:40but we couldn't reach them.

00:08:42We will search for it the next day.

00:08:46So, the next day, on the 27th,

00:08:50Did you inform your wife?

00:08:53Yes, when this situation happened,

00:08:56I was in shock.

00:08:59I didn't know what to do.

00:09:04Everyone knew that the plane was missing.

00:09:07I was informing my family.

00:09:11But I told them that

00:09:14there is no need to worry.

00:09:18We gave it to them so that they can work.

00:09:22There is a risk in everything.

00:09:25He fulfilled his mission.

00:09:29He fulfilled his mission in the world.

00:09:32Did he want to join the army?

00:09:34Yes, he wanted to join the army.

00:09:36He used to see me in the army.

00:09:38He served in the commando.

00:09:40He wanted to be a commando.

00:09:43But there are strict tests for being a commando.

00:09:46He applied for the test,

00:09:49but he couldn't qualify.

00:09:51Then he said that he wanted to be a pilot.

00:09:54He applied because he wanted to be a pilot.

00:09:59First, he became a pilot of a fixed-wing aircraft.

00:10:04Then, he took a course in a rotary helicopter.

00:10:11First, you have to take care of yourself.

00:10:15Then, you have to take care of your family.

00:10:19Did you tell your children or your wife?

00:10:24He was a soldier's wife.

00:10:32His father was also a soldier.

00:10:34No, I am talking about your wife.

00:10:36I told my wife first.

00:10:43I saw her expressions.

00:10:51She took care of herself.

00:10:55We were talking about the risk.

00:11:01She took care of herself.

00:11:03Then, I called my children.

00:11:07I explained the situation to them.

00:11:09Then, I told them the result.

00:11:12Then, you informed your wife.

00:11:14Yes, I informed her.

00:11:16Did you call her on the phone?

00:11:18Yes, I called her on the phone.

00:11:19Her house was a little far from us.

00:11:22She was worried about me.

00:11:25She was worried about me.

00:11:28I told her later.

00:11:31She had a lot of hobbies.

00:11:34How many children did you have?

00:11:37She had a four-year-old son.

00:11:41She had a two-year-old son.

00:11:44She had a six-month-old daughter.

00:11:46She had a lot of children.

00:11:48She was born in Mangla.

00:11:53After six months, she died.

00:11:57She died in December.

00:12:01Tell us about Major Ayaaz.

00:12:03What kind of a son was he?

00:12:05What kind of a brother was he?

00:12:07Today, we are giving him a tribute.

00:12:09You must be talking about him all the time at home.

00:12:12Whether it is Eid, happiness or sadness,

00:12:15you must be thinking about him all the time.

00:12:18Let's go today.

00:12:19I will also remember him with you.

00:12:25This is my son.

00:12:26He is my fourth son.

00:12:28He was the youngest of all.

00:12:31So, he was the youngest, after his daughters.

00:12:33You are the last one.

00:12:36Everyone loved him.

00:12:39He was young, intelligent and patient.

00:12:45He had a hobby.

00:12:47He wanted to be a pilot.

00:12:49He wanted to join the Army.

00:12:53Nature gave him this hobby.

00:12:55You never told them to do something else because you were scared or you were trained because your husband was also in the army?

00:13:07My brother was also in the army. He was martyred in Vana. He was a major.

00:13:15I was scared then. He was also selected for 15 days.

00:13:22He was martyred and my brother was selected.

00:13:29I came to him and told him to tear down the farm.

00:13:34He said, how is that possible? This is my mission.

00:13:41So your brother was martyred and after 15 days your son was selected?

00:13:46Yes, before that.

00:13:49So you were a little scared?

00:13:52Yes, I was scared. I wasn't scared before. But the neighbours said, your son will earn here and eat here.

00:14:00So he shouldn't go here.

00:14:04I told him to tear down the farm. He said, how is that possible?

00:14:12So he left with his hobby.

00:14:16He was young. He didn't even have his identification card yet.

00:14:22He was 17 years old.

00:14:25He went on trading?

00:14:27Yes.

00:14:28Was he proud?

00:14:31Do you sisters feel that your brother is in the army?

00:14:38Everyone has a passion for the army.

00:14:43Every child wants to join the army.

00:14:48One day he was sitting with his father.

00:14:53He hugged him and said, look father, I will become a great man and show you.

00:14:58I will go to the army and become a great officer.

00:15:02When I got the news of his martyrdom, I went to my father.

00:15:09It was confirmed that he had been martyred.

00:15:14When I asked my father, he said, Allah has elevated his status.

00:15:18It was a strange feeling of happiness and sadness.

00:15:26It was a mixed feeling.

00:15:30A great man was living among us.

00:15:36He was our younger brother.

00:15:38He was a great man whom Allah blessed with martyrdom.

00:15:42Not everyone is blessed with martyrdom.

00:15:45Only those chosen by Allah are blessed with martyrdom.

00:15:49It was a feeling that a great man was living among us.

00:15:53When my father told me that Allah has elevated his status,

00:15:58I could not express my emotions.

00:16:02My only words were, Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajoo.

00:16:06He was different from all of us.

00:16:11He was patient.

00:16:12He was very intelligent.

00:16:15He was patient and grateful.

00:16:17He never complained about anything.

00:16:20He never complained about food or clothing.

00:16:25He never complained about his problems.

00:16:29He was patient in everything.

00:16:32He never fought with anyone.

00:16:35He loved his siblings.

00:16:37He used to trouble his siblings a lot.

00:16:40He used to trouble his younger sister a lot.

00:16:42He used to trouble me a lot.

00:16:45He loved to join the army.

00:16:49He loved to become a pilot.

00:16:52We used to play together.

00:16:56He used to ask me to join the army and become a pilot.

00:17:02He used to make sketches.

00:17:04He used to make models for his planes.

00:17:09He used to make sketches and share them with his friends.

00:17:13He used to give them as a gift.

00:17:16He was very brave.

00:17:19How many brothers do you have in total?

00:17:22Four brothers.

00:17:24And three sisters.

00:17:26What about the other brothers?

00:17:28They are on duty.

00:17:30Are they in the army?

00:17:32No.

00:17:34I have two brothers.

00:17:36One is Ayaz Hussain.

00:17:38He is in the army.

00:17:40The other brother is in the army.

00:17:42The third brother is in the ASF.

00:17:47He is an assistant director.

00:17:49He is in Bayreza.

00:17:51I have three sisters.

00:17:53Two of them are in the village.

00:17:55What was the relation between you and Major Ayaz Hussain?

00:17:59Major Ayaz Hussain was a personality.

00:18:02I am also a human being.

00:18:05You are also a human being.

00:18:07These people are also human beings.

00:18:09But he had a different personality.

00:18:12He was a small child.

00:18:15He was very small for us.

00:18:17He was martyred at the age of 33.

00:18:20At the very beginning of his youth.

00:18:24Sometimes you have to take care of your brothers and sisters.

00:18:30You have to take care of them.

00:18:32He played in my lap.

00:18:34He played in my lap.

00:18:36Yes.

00:18:38This is it.

00:18:40I remember all the happiness and sorrows.

00:18:43It is not easy.

00:18:45It is not easy.

00:18:47It is very difficult.

00:18:49We should never forget the sacrifices of these people.

00:18:52Because the one who has to leave, leaves.

00:18:56But there is a whole family behind him.

00:18:57His family, his small children.

00:19:00And his widow.

00:19:02Was he a big son?

00:19:04He was very attached to him.

00:19:06He used to wait for him.

00:19:09As soon as he returned from duty, he used to stand at the gate.

00:19:13Daddy will come now.

00:19:15He used to wait for him.

00:19:17When he got the news of his martyrdom.

00:19:19His sister-in-law told him that he went on a long mission.

00:19:22He was on the mission.

00:19:23Yes.

00:19:25But when he came back from the mission,

00:19:27he was told that he went on a very big mission.

00:19:30His mission was to go to the next world.

00:19:33How do you explain this to those children?

00:19:36How do you make them understand?

00:19:38A six-month-old girl, two years old, four years old.

00:19:40She is so young.

00:19:42They don't know yet.

00:19:44They are still very young.

00:19:46The older one must be eight years old.

00:19:48He is very sensitive.

00:19:50He still remembers a lot.

00:19:51What does he say when you talk to him?

00:19:53I can't talk to him.

00:19:55If I talk to him,

00:19:57he gets tears in his eyes.

00:20:00He gets tears in his eyes.

00:20:02He can't talk to me.

00:20:05Sometimes I talk to my mother.

00:20:07May God keep the children safe.

00:20:09Because a child's trauma

00:20:12becomes a part of their life.

00:20:14It is not easy.

00:20:16As they are still young,

00:20:18if I talk to them,

00:20:19they avoid me.

00:20:21They don't talk to me.

00:20:23They are young and innocent.

00:20:25If something else comes to their mind,

00:20:27they don't talk to me.

00:20:29Who are you most attached to?

00:20:31You are their favorite.

00:20:33You are their favorite aunt.

00:20:35When they come to me,

00:20:37I take good care of them.

00:20:39I used to take care of my brother.

00:20:41I used to wait for him.

00:20:43I used to wait for him every year.

00:20:45I used to make arrangements for him.

00:20:47I used to wait for him every year.

00:20:49I used to wait for him every year.

00:20:51I used to wait for him every year.

00:20:53I am still attached to my children.

00:20:55I take care of them.

00:20:57I feel as if my brother has come.

00:20:59You get to see him.

00:21:01I get to see my younger son.

00:21:03I get to see him.

00:21:05I am like him.

00:21:07This is what I want to tell you.

00:21:09Be patient and think.

00:21:11As he said,

00:21:13God has elevated his status.

00:21:15Not everyone is blessed with martyrdom.

00:21:17Not everyone is blessed with martyrdom.

00:21:19Not everyone is blessed with martyrdom.

00:21:21Let me tell you something.

00:21:23The future generation

00:21:25is a role model for them.

00:21:27They have become a role model for us.

00:21:29They have become a role model for us.

00:21:31The future generation

00:21:33will follow their role model.

00:21:35will follow their role model.

00:21:37They have a passion for martyrdom.

00:21:39They have a passion for martyrdom.

00:21:41Sometimes they think

00:21:43that they will do the same.

00:21:45May God give peace to your hearts.

00:21:47May God give peace to your hearts.

00:21:49As we have received the call

00:21:51to the ARY

00:21:53to remember a martyr,

00:21:55to remember a martyr,

00:21:57we have received the call from Pakistan.

00:21:59we have received the call from Pakistan.

00:22:01We are proud of our son.

00:22:03We are proud of our son.

00:22:05We are happy

00:22:07we are happy

00:22:09that he has left us.

00:22:11He gave his time

00:22:13to serve the country.

00:22:15He gave his time to serve the country.

00:22:47We are thankful to God. He was our son. We are sad, but we are also proud.

00:22:52And when we remember such people on such days,

00:22:58we don't feel sad, but we feel proud and comforted.

00:23:04That they have left, but there are many who remember them.

00:23:13If you ask anyone in Pakistan, they will take their name with respect and pride.

00:23:23We remember Major Ayaz Hussain Quraishaheed today.

00:23:28And we thank you all for taking the time to give us this tribute.

00:23:33Good morning, Pakistan.

00:23:41Welcome. Welcome back. Good morning, Pakistan.

00:23:45In the morning, we feel a little sad.

00:23:49And the reason for this sadness is something special.

00:23:51We give tribute to Shauda today.

00:23:55And when we meet his family, we realize that they have left.

00:24:01But when they leave their entire family behind,

00:24:04how do they face life?

00:24:08I am going to introduce you to the widow of the Commander-in-Chief Shaheed

00:24:14and her children.

00:24:16Jamila Begum is the widow of the Commander-in-Chief Shaheed.

00:24:23Peace be upon you.

00:24:25Her children are present with her.

00:24:29Aiba Azam, Afsha Azam, Bisma Azam and Shahab Azam.

00:24:36And there is one more daughter.

00:24:37Nimra Azam is in the police force.

00:24:39Ikra Azam is in the Cadet College.

00:24:41Okay. You have two more daughters.

00:24:42Yes, two elder daughters.

00:24:44Two elder daughters who study in the Cadet College.

00:24:46Yes, the elder one is in the police force.

00:24:48The elder one got a job in the police force.

00:24:50Yes, she did.

00:24:51Mashallah.

00:24:53So, you have raised six children alone.

00:24:58Yes, I have.

00:24:59How long has it been since the martyrdom of the Commander-in-Chief Shaheed?

00:25:05It has been 10 years.

00:25:07It was on 28th August, 2014.

00:25:1010 years.

00:25:11How old was your eldest daughter and how old were your youngest children?

00:25:16My eldest daughter was 14 years old, Nimra Azam.

00:25:20Shahab Azam and Bisma Azam were three months old.

00:25:25How did they die?

00:25:27They were martyred in 2014 during Operation Zarb-e-Azam.

00:25:32They were attacked at the check post.

00:25:34Okay.

00:25:34It was a terrorist attack.

00:25:36How did you come to know about it?

00:25:38It was a Thursday night.

00:25:40I started feeling anxious at the time of the attack.

00:25:43I was very restless.

00:25:44Nimra Azam, my eldest daughter, was in the police force.

00:25:47She came from tuition and asked me to call her father.

00:25:51Yes.

00:25:51So, I told her...

00:25:52How long were you away from your father?

00:25:53It had been three months.

00:25:55Three months.

00:25:56Yes.

00:25:57So, I told her, my son, there are no mobile phones or signals there.

00:26:00How can I call him?

00:26:01And my father had to come in the morning.

00:26:03He had a holiday in the morning.

00:26:04He had to come.

00:26:06So, I told her, my father has to come in the morning.

00:26:08She took out the clothes from the cupboard and started pressing my father.

00:26:12That my father has to come in the morning.

00:26:14Was this your plan to come in the morning?

00:26:15Yes, yes.

00:26:16We were told that he had a holiday in the morning.

00:26:19Okay.

00:26:20Yes.

00:26:21So, I prayed in a very restless manner.

00:26:24I started sweating when I read Maghrib.

00:26:28When I sleep at night, I feel as if something is coming out of my heart.

00:26:34My heart is racing.

00:26:35I woke up and drank water.

00:26:41I couldn't sleep because I was late.

00:26:43At 5 o'clock, one of our unit members, Abdul Majeed,

00:26:47knocked on the door very loudly.

00:26:50I ran quickly and opened the door.

00:26:52I asked him if he was okay.

00:26:54He told me to come to his house.

00:26:56I went to his house and asked him why he was crying.

00:27:00He told me that Ustad Azam was injured.

00:27:04I said, no, he was martyred.

00:27:10He said, no, he was injured.

00:27:13I said, no, my heart says that he was martyred.

00:27:16Tell us the truth, we will be patient.

00:27:19He said, no, I have a car and I have to take the children to Sialkot.

00:27:24He told me about the CMH in Sialkot.

00:27:28But as soon as the car didn't turn in Sialkot, it went towards Narwal.

00:27:32I said, this is the way to Sialkot CMH, why are you taking us home?

00:27:37He said, no, we have to take Azam's mother with us.

00:27:41I was patient, but my heart didn't believe that he was injured.

00:27:45My heart was telling me that he was martyred and he was injured.

00:27:49He was martyred? Yes, he was martyred.

00:27:51He used to talk to you? Yes, he used to talk to me.

00:27:53When we reached the bus stop, his cousins and others were gathering.

00:28:00They knew about it.

00:28:03They didn't tell us, they told my family.

00:28:05Were you in Karachi? No, we were in Lahore.

00:28:08Oh, you were in Lahore. Yes.

00:28:10When I asked them what they were doing,

00:28:13my younger brother-in-law hugged me and started crying.

00:28:16Didn't you know that your brother was martyred?

00:28:19I said, my heart was telling me, but it was telling me that he was injured.

00:28:26After that, I didn't know where I was, where my children were.

00:28:31My elder daughter was not conscious.

00:28:33The next day, when Azam's dead body arrived,

00:28:36I woke up at 5 o'clock in the morning.

00:28:39They were calling me, I have come.

00:28:42When I opened my eyes, I saw everyone in the house.

00:28:45Everyone was worried, some were crying, some were praying.

00:28:49When I went out, I saw the ambulance on the right.

00:28:52I ran.

00:28:53When I ran, the family who had gone with us, they ran after me.

00:28:59So, I ran towards the ambulance.

00:29:01As soon as I ran, Azam's dead body was there.

00:29:07Then they brought it home.

00:29:09When I saw the dead body, it was like the end of the world.

00:29:15How will I live? How will I raise my children? What will I do?

00:29:21How will I face this society?

00:29:25When I saw the Pakistan flag, I realized that God had given me a lot of patience.

00:29:29I recited the Kalima.

00:29:32I saluted my husband's dead body.

00:29:35I said to my children, your father is dead.

00:29:39Did your children see it too?

00:29:40Yes, they were very young, both daughters.

00:29:44These two are also very young.

00:29:48I said, look at your father's dead body for the last time, with love.

00:29:53You will not be fortunate again.

00:29:57God gave my eldest daughter a lot of patience. She was encouraging me.

00:30:00I am proud of my mother.

00:30:02My father took the rite of martyrdom, and I also took it.

00:30:06I will sacrifice my life for my country.

00:30:09How did you survive for ten years?

00:30:12It was very difficult. I died every moment.

00:30:16I cried a lot, but I had the courage.

00:30:18Your children were also young. You could not leave the house.

00:30:21Two three-month-old children.

00:30:22Yes.

00:30:23They must have been young too.

00:30:24Yes, I was completely alone.

00:30:28It was the Pak Army who took me with so much respect.

00:30:31My boss and my wife helped me a lot everywhere.

00:30:36My children and my sister-in-law sent them to school like this.

00:30:40We are with you.

00:30:42They helped me a lot everywhere.

00:30:45And most of all, I am thankful to God

00:30:47that He did not let me bow down to anyone.

00:30:51What do you do? Do you get a pension?

00:30:53Yes, I get a pension.

00:30:54You used to survive on that?

00:30:56And you have a place to live?

00:30:57Yes, I got a quarter from the Army.

00:30:59And your children's education?

00:31:01Yes, my children's education is completely free.

00:31:04I do the rest of the books myself.

00:31:06And Mashallah, your elder daughter is in the police force?

00:31:07Yes, she is in the police force.

00:31:09She has sent my younger sister to a cadet college.

00:31:11Do your children do well in their studies?

00:31:12Sometimes, a mother is alone.

00:31:14No, no, no.

00:31:15The children do not come under the control of the mother.

00:31:16No, no, no.

00:31:17My children have never even come to me

00:31:19to complain about the doors of the school.

00:31:21Thank God.

00:31:23My children have made a name for themselves in the school.

00:31:25I am very proud of this.

00:31:28I am not educated,

00:31:29but I have learned a lot from my children.

00:31:32They give me hope that I will not become weak here.

00:31:35We are there for you.

00:31:37I am thankful to God that He has given me such lovely daughters.

00:31:40They say that only sons are a support.

00:31:42But I say no.

00:31:43Daughters.

00:31:44Daughters.

00:31:45I am very lucky.

00:31:46Do you remember anything different about your father?

00:31:49She must have been very young.

00:31:51Yes, she was five years old.

00:31:52What?

00:31:53She was five years old.

00:31:54She was five years old.

00:31:55I just remember one incident.

00:31:56Whenever my father used to come from the university,

00:31:58he used to take us to the park in the evening.

00:32:02He used to make me sit on his shoulders and pick up Afshan.

00:32:06She used to insist that my father should make me sit on his shoulders.

00:32:09Why should he make Aiba sit on his shoulders?

00:32:10Do you remember this?

00:32:11Yes.

00:32:13What did you miss about your father all your life?

00:32:17I miss my father the most when I go to school

00:32:22and my friends are going with their father.

00:32:26And I tell my mother that my father is no more.

00:32:33Your mother is a soldier.

00:32:35I say that a soldier's wife is also a soldier.

00:32:38And especially those women,

00:32:41the way they have lived their lives,

00:32:43many people must be watching them.

00:32:44And they yearn for small things.

00:32:49And they must be saying that they didn't get this.

00:32:50So if you see this family,

00:32:53who have been martyred by their husband for 10 years,

00:32:58and their youngest son was three months old,

00:33:00they have no memory of their father.

00:33:03Obviously.

00:33:04So many people must be saying to you

00:33:08that sometimes they are not happy in their own state.

00:33:10So I want to show you that you are happy in this life.

00:33:12I am happy in every state.

00:33:15I am happy in every blessing of Allah.

00:33:17I am happy in whatever Allah has given me.

00:33:19I am happy in every state.

00:33:21I thank Allah.

00:33:22May Allah never make me beg in front of anyone.

00:33:28What dreams did you have for your children?

00:33:29What did you think?

00:33:30Have you ever told your children?

00:33:32Yes, I have told them.

00:33:34At that time, the salary was very low.

00:33:38People's children used to go to APS.

00:33:40So they used to say to me,

00:33:41Inshallah, I will work hard and get a rank.

00:33:44And I will teach my children in APS.

00:33:46Yes.

00:33:47I said, yes, I also like this white uniform a lot.

00:33:50So they said, Inshallah, we will definitely teach our children in APS.

00:33:54So they used to say this.

00:33:56I am always at the border.

00:33:59If anything happens to me,

00:34:01the army will support you in teaching your children.

00:34:06And you have to teach your children.

00:34:08You have to teach them.

00:34:09You don't have to look back.

00:34:11And you have to teach your children.

00:34:13Daughters are more important than sons to me.

00:34:15If the government doesn't give you permission for this,

00:34:18you have to leave everything and give them permission.

00:34:21And you have to give them permission in the army, navy, air force.

00:34:25Okay, that was their wish.

00:34:26Yes, that was their wish.

00:34:27That they should be in the forces.

00:34:28Yes.

00:34:29So you have to do these things.

00:34:31So I used to say,

00:34:32the rest is fine.

00:34:33But why do you keep talking about martyrdom again and again?

00:34:36They had a lot of passion.

00:34:37Yes, they had a lot of passion.

00:34:38Yes, I think the one who has a passion,

00:34:40Allah gives him the same.

00:34:42The one who has a passion to be a martyr,

00:34:44Allah gives him that rank.

00:34:47My father was very different from everyone else.

00:34:49He had a very simple temperament.

00:34:51He never fought or argued with anyone.

00:34:52That's what I tell my children.

00:34:53Son, if your father had called me in a fit of anger,

00:34:57I would have remembered those words.

00:34:59So he never fought or argued with anyone.

00:35:01Do your children ever ask you?

00:35:02Yes.

00:35:03They don't even know.

00:35:04Do they ever ask you how you were?

00:35:06Do they see your pictures?

00:35:08Yes, they do.

00:35:09The way he used to win competitions in a big boat.

00:35:12So I show my children that your father used to play these games.

00:35:16He used to come home and say,

00:35:17I have a lot of pain in my back.

00:35:20So we used to say, let's give him a massage or something.

00:35:23No, no, I'll get used to it.

00:35:25It's okay.

00:35:26He was very patient.

00:35:28Yes.

00:35:29So which of your children's habits,

00:35:32which of your children's habits,

00:35:34do you think is exactly like your husband's?

00:35:36My elder daughter, Nimra, and my mother, Basa.

00:35:39Okay, it's their habit.

00:35:42Do your classmates or friends ever ask you,

00:35:46do you proudly tell them that your father is a martyr?

00:35:49Yes, a lot of my friends ask me that.

00:35:53I mean, everyone is sad,

00:35:56but I tell them that I am very proud that my father is a martyr.

00:36:00And I want to join the army

00:36:02and like him, I want to sacrifice my life for my country.

00:36:06Do you have anything to say? You must be very young.

00:36:09Afshan?

00:36:10Yes?

00:36:11I was two years old.

00:36:13You were two years old.

00:36:14Do you ask your sisters or your mother

00:36:17to tell you anything about your father?

00:36:19Yes, my mother used to tell me

00:36:21that my father used to give me a lot of massages.

00:36:24He used to give her massages himself.

00:36:26Yes, he's sweet, he's nice.

00:36:28And she was very lovely, just like other boys.

00:36:30And she used to make her wear pants and shorts

00:36:33and get her hair cut.

00:36:35And he used to give her massages himself as a child.

00:36:37So they used to say, no, she's too young.

00:36:40These people used to say,

00:36:41Nimra Baba, Afshan is in my place.

00:36:43He used to say, no, you people are loved.

00:36:45She has a little time.

00:36:46And he used to give her massages himself, with oil.

00:36:50So, he was very sweet, he was very nice to her.

00:36:55So, he must have been very young.

00:36:58He was one day old when he left the house.

00:37:00He didn't get to see him.

00:37:01Afshan was the oldest.

00:37:03Yes, yes.

00:37:05You were saying that he was three months old.

00:37:06He was dead after three months.

00:37:08He died after one day.

00:37:10He died after one day.

00:37:12He died after one day.

00:37:13So, after that...

00:37:14Were you happy when he was born?

00:37:16I was very happy.

00:37:17And he's your only son, right?

00:37:19Yes, he's my only son.

00:37:20Does he want to join the army?

00:37:21Yes, he does.

00:37:22What do you want to be when you grow up?

00:37:25An army officer.

00:37:26Oh, wow.

00:37:27My six children have the same passion.

00:37:29They want to study and become an army officer.

00:37:32So, today we paid tribute to Constable Azam Shaheed

00:37:37through Sikh September.

00:37:39And thank you all for taking out the time.

00:37:42Obviously, he will always be in your hearts.

00:37:46But the public will also remember the sacrifice he made.

00:37:51Good morning, Pakistan.

00:37:52Stay with us after a break.

00:38:02Welcome back.

00:38:03Good morning, Pakistan.

00:38:04Today is September 6th.

00:38:07It's not easy.

00:38:09To join the army,

00:38:12to join the army's navy, army, or air force.

00:38:16It's a difficult task.

00:38:18You have to give a lot of exams.

00:38:21You have to undergo a lot of training.

00:38:23And then you become an army officer, naval, or air force officer.

00:38:28But it's even more difficult for parents

00:38:33to agree to send their children to defend their country.

00:38:40Because it's a very risky job.

00:38:43You don't know how long you will live.

00:38:47So, as long as it's written, it's written by God.

00:38:50But not everyone is destined to be a martyr.

00:38:54Today, I have with me

00:38:56Lieutenant Shaheed's parents,

00:38:59Mother Nighat Sagheer Sahiba.

00:39:03Assalamualaikum.

00:39:04And Mohammad Sagheer is his father.

00:39:07Thank you for coming to the show.

00:39:09If I may ask, how was Lieutenant Shaheed martyred?

00:39:16And how long has it been?

00:39:18It's been about four and a half years.

00:39:20In 2020, there was a plane crash.

00:39:23The first flight that left after Corona.

00:39:26On the day of Jumatul Wida.

00:39:28He was in that plane.

00:39:30In that flight?

00:39:31Yes, in that flight.

00:39:32Okay.

00:39:33Where was he coming from?

00:39:34He was coming from Lahore. He had a unit in Lahore.

00:39:36And he was coming from there for Eid.

00:39:39He was coming home for Eid.

00:39:41So, he did Eid with us in Inter.

00:39:45After that, when he joined the Pak Army,

00:39:48for two years...

00:39:51So, he didn't get leave on Eid.

00:39:54He used to get leave, but he never got leave on Eid.

00:39:59Then, for two years as an officer,

00:40:01he didn't get leave on Eid.

00:40:03So, this was his first Eid.

00:40:05The first Eid he did was in Inter, when he was in college.

00:40:08And how old was he when he was martyred?

00:40:10He was 23 years old.

00:40:12Okay.

00:40:13So, this was his first Eid after four years with us.

00:40:17And his sister was married.

00:40:19So, he wanted to give his sister a surprise.

00:40:22We didn't tell her that Shaheer was on leave.

00:40:25And how many children do you have?

00:40:27I have six children.

00:40:29Two sons and four daughters.

00:40:31And Shaheer was in third position.

00:40:33Okay.

00:40:34Is there anyone else in the army?

00:40:36My brother was martyred 20 years ago.

00:40:38Okay.

00:40:40So, Shaheer was a very intelligent, hard-working man.

00:40:47He took care of others and helped others.

00:40:51He was such a person.

00:40:52And he had a special attachment to martyrs, martyrdom and martyrdom.

00:41:04Because he used to look at the pictures of martyrs...

00:41:08...that were taken by the people of Nishan-e-Haider with great devotion.

00:41:12And the radiance in his eyes at that time...

00:41:14...can't be described in words.

00:41:18And he also wanted to be a martyr in my name.

00:41:22Okay.

00:41:23So, when he went to Siachen...

00:41:28...his post was in Siachen.

00:41:31So, he wanted to be a martyr there.

00:41:34And he wanted to be in a state of fasting.

00:41:37And after his martyrdom...

00:41:42...I met a young man from his unit.

00:41:47He told me that before going to Siachen...

00:41:49...there is a white dress in Siachen...

00:41:54...and people usually wear warm clothes under it.

00:41:58But when I told Shaheer...

00:42:00...he said that he would wear a uniform under it...

00:42:03...so that if he was martyred in Siachen...

00:42:05...he would have a khaki uniform on his body.

00:42:07Okay.

00:42:08That's how much he cared for you.

00:42:10And when his sister was in Itaqaf...

00:42:14...he called Shaheer before Itaqaf...

00:42:18...and when I talked to him...

00:42:20...I told him that people who sit in Itaqaf...

00:42:22...are called for a special prayer.

00:42:23So, what did you tell your sister for the prayer?

00:42:26He said that he told his sister to pray for him...

00:42:29...so that he would get a piece of heaven.

00:42:31Okay.

00:42:33So, I asked him what kind of a prayer was that.

00:42:38He said that he wouldn't like it...

00:42:41...but that he would get a piece of heaven.

00:42:45So, he was martyred a few days later.

00:42:48Okay.

00:42:49So, when your son said that he wanted to join the army...

00:42:56...because children tell their parents about their dreams...

00:42:58...what did you tell him?

00:43:01I was very proud of him...

00:43:04...because he himself wanted to join the army.

00:43:10In his childhood, most of the children...

00:43:15...wanted to become doctors or engineers.

00:43:17So, he wanted to become an officer in the army.

00:43:21He wanted to join the army or the air force.

00:43:24It was his dream.

00:43:26When the children were young, they used to go on picnics.

00:43:31So, most of my children wanted to go to the P.F. Museum.

00:43:37There was a navy museum nearby.

00:43:40So, when they went to the P.F. Museum...

00:43:43...they used to read what was written on the ships.

00:43:47And when they came back home, they used to discuss what they had read.

00:43:52Which ship they had read about.

00:43:55It was their hobby.

00:43:57And on the 6th of September...

00:44:00...they used to go to school in the army uniform.

00:44:07How did you develop an interest in children?

00:44:11It's God's grace.

00:44:13God didn't know the meaning of martyrdom for the children.

00:44:17So, that's when...

00:44:19You must have discussed this at home.

00:44:23How did the children develop an interest in it?

00:44:25On our national holidays...

00:44:28...if you are involved in it with all your heart and soul...

00:44:34...the children develop an interest in it.

00:44:35For example, on the 14th of August...

00:44:38...when the program starts, you have to wake up the children...

00:44:42...and make them sit in front of the TV.

00:44:44And when it's national holiday, you have to tell them how much you respect them.

00:44:48If you have to plant the seeds...

00:44:50...you don't just throw them on the ground.

00:44:52After the 14th of August, you have to show them respect and love.

00:44:57So, these are the small things...

00:44:59...that help the children develop an interest in doing something for their country.

00:45:04So, this is the first step.

00:45:06You are telling the children, you are showing them things.

00:45:09We say, what happens when you plant the seeds...

00:45:12...but this is the first step...

00:45:14...to make the children feel that they belong to a beautiful country...

00:45:18...or to develop a love for the country.

00:45:19And then, slowly, it develops...

00:45:22...when you realize that you have an identity in the world.

00:45:25And from the 1st of August to the 14th of August...

00:45:28...when the children do their homework...

00:45:30...after that, you have to tell the children...

00:45:32...to read a national song every once in a while.

00:45:35Okay.

00:45:36On the 6th of September...

00:45:37...or on other days, like Qaid-e-Azam or Allama Iqbal...

00:45:40So, you have kept these activities at home.

00:45:43Yes, Qaid-e-Azam and Allama Iqbal have done us a lot of favours.

00:45:47So, we can take it forward in the same way...

00:45:51...so that we can also do something for Pakistan.

00:45:53Absolutely.

00:45:54Okay, I would like to introduce you to...

00:45:56...war-wounded soldier Saddam Hussein.

00:46:00So, obviously, when he is in the war...

00:46:02...you can see him being martyred in front of him...

00:46:05...and what kind of a phase it is.

00:46:08So, we will ask him.

00:46:09Assalam-o-Alaikum.

00:46:10How are you?

00:46:11I am fine, thank you.

00:46:12So, which operation did you take part in?

00:46:17I took part in Operation Al-Mizan.

00:46:19Al-Mizan. Operation Al-Mizan.

00:46:21So, how long ago was that?

00:46:23This...

00:46:26Okay, about 5 years ago.

00:46:29So, what happened?

00:46:31We see it in dramas and movies...

00:46:34...but we have never seen it in real life.

00:46:36You have experienced it.

00:46:38We were on duty for Operation Al-Mizan.

00:46:43So, we were searching there.

00:46:44So, the explosive pipe that was sent by the enemy...

00:46:48...got blasted when it exploded.

00:46:50Explosive?

00:46:51Explosive pipe.

00:46:52Pipe, okay.

00:46:54I was badly injured when it got blasted.

00:46:57Okay.

00:46:57One of my eyes got damaged.

00:47:00The other one was 70% damaged.

00:47:03Oh, I see.

00:47:05So, what happened to your body?

00:47:08There was no damage to my body.

00:47:10Only the face.

00:47:11Okay, okay.

00:47:13So, who all are there in your family?

00:47:17There is no one in my family.

00:47:19Okay, so who all are there in your family...

00:47:22...who were your dependents at that time?

00:47:24I have four brothers.

00:47:27I have three sisters, mother and father.

00:47:29Okay.

00:47:30And my wife.

00:47:31Okay, your wife.

00:47:32So, this happened five years ago.

00:47:35How long did it take for you to recover?

00:47:38It took about a year.

00:47:42My eyes were slowly recovering.

00:47:43Okay.

00:47:44So, my treatment continued for a year.

00:47:48After a year, I was able to walk.

00:47:51A person gets traumatized...

00:47:55...when you are in the army.

00:47:57And because of this...

00:47:59...you can't be as active as you used to be.

00:48:04So, a person gets traumatized.

00:48:07Yes, but we are also proud of it.

00:48:10A person may lose one leg or one eye...

00:48:13...but we are proud of it for our country.

00:48:18I lost both my eyes.

00:48:20But my blood is enough for the enemy.

00:48:22If I need anything, I won't let the country suffer.

00:48:27I can still stand on the border and fight the enemy.

00:48:31So, you are able to see 30% of your vision...

00:48:35...but it's not clear.

00:48:37But it's clear that you are able to do your work.

00:48:42What do you do now?

00:48:43I am in the service.

00:48:45Okay, in the service.

00:48:46What can you do in the service?

00:48:49If there is no activity in the unit, I can relax.

00:48:53Okay.

00:48:54But if I need anything...

00:48:57So, during the war...

00:49:00...you must have seen the war and the martyrdom.

00:49:04Some people must have been martyred.

00:49:07Did you have any friends?

00:49:09No, my friends were also injured.

00:49:15I was the only one who was injured.

00:49:20Okay.

00:49:22Before that, many people were martyred.

00:49:24We have picked them up.

00:49:27You picked them up and helped each other.

00:49:30After September 6, when I meet everyone...

00:49:33...something revives.

00:49:35The deceased is martyred...

00:49:38...which is a big thing.

00:49:41But the family...

00:49:42...the longer it lives...

00:49:46...it becomes a burden.

00:49:49A person from your close family...

00:49:54...goes away from you.

00:49:56It is a pride.

00:49:57But it is also a responsibility of a young child.

00:50:03You are absolutely right.

00:50:04A person becomes hollow.

00:50:06Yes, it is a pride.

00:50:08Alhamdulillah, Allah gave him respect at such a young age.

00:50:13He was honoured.

00:50:15He was martyred, which was his wish.

00:50:19We are also honoured by him.

00:50:22We are also known by him.

00:50:24We are the parents of the martyr.

00:50:26Yes, but this is a big sacrifice.

00:50:29But no one can fulfill his lack.

00:50:33Absolutely.

00:50:34We are taking a short break.

00:50:36Good morning, Pakistan.

00:50:38All of you are with me...

00:50:42...so that we can greet the martyrs on September 6.

00:50:53Welcome, welcome back. Good morning, Pakistan.

00:50:55Today is September 6.

00:50:57You just met many of our families...

00:51:01...the family of the martyr.

00:51:03The army.

00:51:05Today, I will go to the navy.

00:51:08I have always admired the uniform of the navy.

00:51:12The uniform is the first attraction of the uniform.

00:51:16Then, the forces.

00:51:20I find all the fields very attractive.

00:51:23They are close to my heart.

00:51:25So, I have with me...

00:51:28...the widow of Lieutenant Commander Zeeshan Shaheed's wife.

00:51:32Lieutenant Commander Kuratulain.

00:51:34Assalam-o-Alaikum.

00:51:36And I have with me...

00:51:38...the widow of Lieutenant Commander Syed Jawad Ali.

00:51:44Officer Cadet Sidra Jawad.

00:51:49Assalam-o-Alaikum.

00:51:50Thank you for coming to my show and taking out your time.

00:51:54The first question is...

00:51:56...who joined the navy...

00:51:59...after your husband's martyrdom...

00:52:03...or were you in the navy before that?

00:52:06No, I joined the navy after my husband's martyrdom.

00:52:10Immediately after his martyrdom...

00:52:13...I decided to join the navy.

00:52:16How long has it been...

00:52:18...since Lieutenant Commander Zeeshan's martyrdom?

00:52:22He was martyred on 30th August, 2018.

00:52:27It's been almost six years now.

00:52:30How long did you get married?

00:52:32I got married 2.5 years after his martyrdom.

00:52:35What about your children?

00:52:37I had one son. He's seven now.

00:52:40Back then he was 1.5 years old.

00:52:43Were you a housewife?

00:52:45I was a housewife.

00:52:47How did you decide to join the navy?

00:52:50The main aim of joining the navy...

00:52:54...was to continue that legacy.

00:52:57The uniform he was wearing...

00:53:02...I wanted to continue it.

00:53:04I wanted to do something for my son.

00:53:07A father is a role model for his children.

00:53:11He's still a role model...

00:53:14...but he wanted a living role model.

00:53:18I took a step for that.

00:53:20I didn't want to stop that legacy.

00:53:23I wanted to continue that uniform.

00:53:26How was he martyred?

00:53:28He was martyred in Pakistan Navy's aviation branch.

00:53:32He was a pilot.

00:53:34During the search and rescue operation...

00:53:37...his helicopter met with an accident.

00:53:40I would like to ask the civilians...

00:53:44...what was your qualification...

00:53:47...that gave you the opportunity to join the navy?

00:53:51What kind of training did you get?

00:53:55I did my qualification in telecommunication engineering.

00:53:59I did my masters in telecom and networks.

00:54:02When you got married?

00:54:04Yes.

00:54:05After I was martyred...

00:54:07...there are vacancies in the navy.

00:54:10You can join the navy as a short service commissioned officer.

00:54:15After I was martyred I saw an ad in the newspaper...

00:54:19...in which my qualification was required.

00:54:22I applied for it.

00:54:24There is an initial written test.

00:54:27I qualified for that.

00:54:29Then there is a detailed medical test.

00:54:32Then there is an ISSB training.

00:54:34After the ISSB you receive a final call letter.

00:54:38I cleared all those milestones...

00:54:41...and then the navy gave me a call letter.

00:54:44Even after joining the navy...

00:54:46...there is an initial training for 6 months.

00:54:49We join it with the other cadets.

00:54:52Basic grooming and basic military training.

00:54:56What is your job description?

00:54:59I belong to the special branch of the navy.

00:55:03I am currently an instructor in the special branch...

00:55:07...in the P.N. Communications School.

00:55:11The naval communications training...

00:55:15...is given by the officers and the C.P.O sailors.

00:55:20I teach them as an instructor.

00:55:24Can you manage your son's job hours?

00:55:30God has given women a special management power.

00:55:37No matter what profession they belong to...

00:55:42...we manage it.

00:55:44When you are a single mother...

00:55:46...your determination is stronger.

00:55:49You can easily manage it.

00:55:52You can look after your child's milestones.

00:55:57What is your dream for your son?

00:56:00My dream for my son is...

00:56:03...he should wear the pilot's green uniform...

00:56:08...that his father gave him.

00:56:10Yet again, it is his own wish.

00:56:12It is his own wish.

00:56:14When you see that his father is no more...

00:56:17...because he has grown up now.

00:56:19He didn't have any memories of his father...

00:56:22...because how can a 1.5 year old make memories?

00:56:25Exactly.

00:56:26He was so passionate about watching movies and stories.

00:56:31He has the same orientation.

00:56:34When he sees me in the uniform...

00:56:36...he has the same orientation.

00:56:38I want to join the army too.

00:56:40Let's hope for the best.

00:56:42I am coming to you now.

00:56:45Let me take your husband's name again.

00:56:49There is a place for Shroda.

00:56:53We are remembering him today.

00:56:56You are the widow of Lt. C.S. Jawad Ali.

00:57:00You have become a cadet officer yourself.

00:57:05Sidra, tell me about yourself.

00:57:08How long has it been since his martyrdom?

00:57:11Last year, last September.

00:57:13It has been a year.

00:57:14It has been a year recently.

00:57:154th September.

00:57:16He had a stroke yesterday.

00:57:18How was your husband's martyrdom?

00:57:21My husband was a pilot.

00:57:24He was a seeking helo.

00:57:27He had an accident during routine operations.

00:57:32He was martyred in that.

00:57:34How old were you when you got married?

00:57:36I got married when I was 8 years old.

00:57:39It has been 9 years now.

00:57:42How many children do you have?

00:57:46I have a daughter.

00:57:48She is 7 years old.

00:57:49I have a son.

00:57:50He is 4 years old.

00:57:52How did you decide to join the army?

00:57:56I used to see my husband.

00:57:59I used to see his dedication.

00:58:01I used to see his passion.

00:58:02I used to see how much he loved his duty.

00:58:06You have the same love for your country.

00:58:12After that, I decided to join the army.

00:58:18I wanted to be a role model for my children.

00:58:22I wanted to join the army.

00:58:27What is your job description?

00:58:29I have done my Bachelors in Computer Systems Engineering.

00:58:32It is a combination of Software Engineering and Electrical Engineering.

00:58:36I have done my Bachelors in Computer Systems Engineering.

00:58:39I have just been recruited in the IT branch.

00:58:42When you were alive, you didn't have a job.

00:58:49I had done some internships related to my field.

00:58:53At that time, my children were young.

00:58:56So, I was giving them some time.

00:58:58I decided to start my M.S.

00:59:00Meanwhile, this incident happened.

00:59:03How was Mr. Jabbar martyred?

00:59:05He was a Sea King pilot.

00:59:07The Sea King crashed in Gwadar last year.

00:59:10He was martyred there.

00:59:12How were you informed?

00:59:17The Naval community is very strong.

00:59:20All the higher commands came to my house.

00:59:24Their wives came to my house.

00:59:26They informed me.

00:59:29A person has dreams in life.

00:59:34I have thought a lot about it.

00:59:37But, it is what is written.

00:59:40It is better to accept reality from a long time.

00:59:45If you have faith in God,

00:59:53then things become easier for you.

00:59:58Especially, as a mother, you are strong.

01:00:01It is difficult.

01:00:03But, at the same time, you continue with your life.

01:00:09They say that God gives pain.

01:00:11So, He also gives His mercy.

01:00:13What are your dreams for your children?

01:00:17I have the same dreams as their father.

01:00:20What were his dreams?

01:00:22His father wanted him to be a pilot.

01:00:27It is up to the children.

01:00:31I want them to join the forces.

01:00:35I want my daughter to join the forces.

01:00:40I want her to continue this legacy.

01:00:43How do you feel to see yourself in the uniform of the forces?

01:00:47What do your siblings, parents and friends say?

01:00:53I am still under training.

01:00:55My family has not seen me in the uniform.

01:00:57They will see it for the first time.

01:00:59I am more excited than them.

01:01:02What will their reaction be when they see my children?

01:01:05They have not seen it yet.

01:01:07No, they have not seen it yet.

01:01:08You are not allowed to contact your family for 6 months.

01:01:12You are not allowed to contact your family for 40 days.

01:01:17Then you are allowed to contact your family.

01:01:21You are allowed to contact your family when you reach a milestone.

01:01:25I don't know how they will react.

01:01:29But, my daughter was very excited.

01:01:32When she found out that her mother was going for training.

01:01:35Who has trained her?

01:01:38My family and my parents.

01:01:41My in-laws take good care of her.

01:01:43They have a good bonding with my daughter.

01:01:48If girls want to join the Navy, what should they study?

01:01:56How can they join the Navy?

01:02:01The Navy gives you opportunities in different fields.

01:02:04Medical, IT, Physiotherapist.

01:02:10You can be inducted in many branches.

01:02:15It is important to take your studies seriously.

01:02:18Work on yourself.

01:05:53Thank you for coming on the show.

01:05:56Let's watch a short clip of Good Morning Pakistan.

01:06:03Welcome back to Good Morning Pakistan.

01:06:06It's very difficult to find a family.

01:06:10There are four generations in Pakistan.

01:06:16I am very lucky to be here today.

01:06:20There are four generations in Pakistan.

01:06:26They are serving in the forces of Pakistan.

01:06:29These four generations are here with me.

01:06:33Commander Faraz Farooq Hiraikar.

01:06:36He served from 1992 to 2017.

01:06:42He also served in the army.

01:06:47Assalam-o-Alaikum.

01:06:49Welcome to our show.

01:06:50Thank you very much.

01:06:51You are the third generation.

01:06:53Yes, I am the third generation.

01:06:54The first generation was your grandfather.

01:06:57Please tell us his name.

01:06:58Captain SDI Sheikh Daud Ibrahim Hiraikar.

01:07:01He was a surgeon and a doctor.

01:07:04He was in the Indian-British army.

01:07:08He joined the army in 1944.

01:07:11When Pakistan was formed, he came to Pakistan.

01:07:14He became a doctor in the Navy.

01:07:18My father joined the Navy in 1967.

01:07:23He retired in 1995.

01:07:27I joined the Navy in 1992.

01:07:31I retired in 2017.

01:07:34I will introduce you to his wife.

01:07:39She is the fourth generation.

01:07:41The youngest child is Lieutenant Faraz Hiraikar.

01:07:48Assalam-o-Alaikum.

01:07:49How are you?

01:07:50I am fine.

01:07:51Your father and mother are in the army.

01:07:55I have with me Lieutenant Commander Yasmeen Faraz Hiraikar.

01:07:59He joined the army in December 1998.

01:08:04Assalam-o-Alaikum.

01:08:05Walaikum-as-salam.

01:08:06The entire family is in the same field.

01:08:13Yes.

01:08:14Four generations.

01:08:16His great-grandfather, grandfather, father and himself.

01:08:21And his mother.

01:08:22And his mother.

01:08:24Have you met your great-grandfather?

01:08:29Yes.

01:08:30He died at the age of 97 in 2010.

01:08:35He was a doctor.

01:08:37He practised medicine till the age of 94.

01:08:43He was very passionate.

01:08:45Was it because of him that you became passionate?

01:08:50Did you want to join the army?

01:08:52Or was it a part of the family culture?

01:08:55Actually, when he migrated from Pakistan to India...

01:09:01...the patriotism in us...

01:09:04...was inbuilt in our inheritance.

01:09:09And we found that the Navy is one of those branches...

01:09:13...of the armed forces or a part of Pakistan...

01:09:16...in which our thirst for patriotism was fulfilled.

01:09:21We liked the Navy a lot.

01:09:24That's why we carried it for generations.

01:09:28That was the reason.

01:09:29After your grandfather, your father was also inspired by him.

01:09:34What was he?

01:09:36He retired as a captain.

01:09:38Our captain is like a full colonel.

01:09:40He was in the operations branch.

01:09:43My grandfather joined World War II in 1944.

01:09:50World War II was coming to an end in 1945.

01:09:54He served in the Middle East.

01:09:57He was posted in Kashmir in 1948.

01:10:01There was a war going on at that time.

01:10:03He was there.

01:10:04He did a naval central surgery in the medical corps...

01:10:07...which is like a hospital.

01:10:11He served there for 19 years.

01:10:15Then my father joined in 1967.

01:10:19Then I joined in 1992.

01:10:23And my wife...

01:10:25Were you born here?

01:10:27Or did he join the forces after marriage?

01:10:30He joined before I got married.

01:10:33We got married after joining the Navy.

01:10:39I spent 10 years with my grandfather in his family.

01:10:44He used to tell stories of World War II.

01:10:48He served in Kashmir in 1948.

01:10:53He was in the field ambulance.

01:10:56He had a tough time.

01:10:58How he developed the central surgery.

01:11:01PNS Shifa.

01:11:03I used to feel so good listening to him.

01:11:07I had patriotism.

01:11:11That's why I joined the forces.

01:11:14We tried to inculcate the values of families in our children.

01:11:21How many children do you have?

01:11:24I have two children.

01:11:26You are a working lady.

01:11:29Your husband is also working.

01:11:31How did you make your children capable?

01:11:35It's difficult when both are working.

01:11:38It's a demanding job.

01:11:41Who supported you?

01:11:44If a working woman doesn't have support, she can't leave the house.

01:11:50I was lucky enough to be in a joint family system.

01:11:54My mother-in-law supported me a lot.

01:11:59She took care of both my children.

01:12:02When you were on duty?

01:12:04When Taha was being commissioned, she was very emotional.

01:12:09She was so happy.

01:12:11The children she brought up are capable of taking their parents' place.

01:12:17How did you develop a passion?

01:12:21When you look around the house...

01:12:24...you develop a passion for everything.

01:12:27For your mother, father, grandfather, great-grandfather.

01:12:31Sometimes you want to do what your great-grandfather did.

01:12:35Sometimes you want to do something else.

01:12:38You don't want to join the army.

01:12:41Everyone has different dreams.

01:12:43How did you develop a passion?

01:12:45I liked both of them since childhood.

01:12:49I liked the white uniform.

01:12:52I was fascinated by the white uniform.

01:12:58My mother and father motivated me a lot.

01:13:01I was fascinated by their motivation.

01:13:05I applied for it in 2021.

01:13:09I joined the Pakistan Naval Academy in January 2022.

01:13:14Are your other children younger than him?

01:13:18Yes, they are.

01:13:20Let's see what happens.

01:13:22We didn't force them, nor will we force others.

01:13:24If he chooses to come to Australia, we will be very happy.

01:13:29When you were his age and had to choose your career...

01:13:34...did you already have a mind to go to Australia?

01:13:39Yes, I had a mind.

01:13:41But I explored all the options.

01:13:45Then I came back to this place.

01:13:48I saw the pros and cons of this place.

01:13:51This was the best place for me.

01:13:55You have job satisfaction.

01:13:58Yes, I wanted to serve Pakistan.

01:14:03So I opted for this.

01:14:06I would like to share some pictures of you.

01:14:10Your grandfather and great-grandfather.

01:14:14And of course, your great-grandfather.

01:14:17Show us some pictures.

01:14:19Who are these people?

01:14:22On the left is my father.

01:14:25Captain Farooq Daud Harekar.

01:14:28In the center is me.

01:14:30I was his sub-lieutenant.

01:14:32On the right is Taha.

01:14:35Do you have pictures of your great-grandfather?

01:14:37Yes.

01:14:38Show us some more.

01:14:40This is my grandfather.

01:14:42Sergeant Captain S.D.A. Harekar.

01:14:44This picture was taken in 1950.

01:14:49He was a soldier in the army.

01:14:53There was only one doctor.

01:14:58He was a central surgeon.

01:15:00This was the center of Karachi.

01:15:03Karachi was here at that time.

01:15:06He was supposed to look after...

01:15:08...commanders and above rank.

01:15:10He looked after everyone.

01:15:12It was his passion.

01:15:14He used to look after the soldiers.

01:15:16In those days, doctors used to go home...

01:15:18...with briefcases.

01:15:20He looked after all the embassies.

01:15:24He looked after Ayub Khan, Yaya Khan.

01:15:28He looked after all of them.

01:15:31There were very few doctors at that time.

01:15:33None of you wanted to go to medical school.

01:15:37Coincidentally, the first child in our family...

01:15:42...was in the Navy.

01:15:44The second child is a doctor.

01:15:46My father has only one brother.

01:15:48He is a neurophysician, Dr. Arif Harekar.

01:15:50My two sisters are doctors.

01:15:53They are in the industry.

01:15:56They are medical specialists in infectious diseases.

01:15:58Dr. Fivzia and Dr. Faiza.

01:16:00That's how it started.

01:16:02That's how it started.

01:16:05One child will join the army...

01:16:07...and the other will join the medical field.

01:16:10Thank you for coming on the show.

01:16:13It's a proud moment for your family...

01:16:18...that four generations are in the army.

01:16:22We are proud of you.

01:16:24You must be proud of yourself.

01:16:26Thank you so much for coming on the show.
