In Loving Memory of Captain Bilal Zafar Abbasi, Martyr of Swat

Martyr of Swat Rah-e-Rast Operation

6 years back at his passing out parade at the PMA, one phrase that really captured my mind was” Men are Men, when the honor is kept”. Today, I can with pride say that not only did he understood it, but when the time came, he rose up to the occasion. A decorated SSG commando, a caring son, a source of pride for his siblings and above all, an extra ordinary human being, Bilal was killed on the morning of May 17th, 2009, at 5.30am by a direct rocket strike.

Bullets can never harm me, this is what he used to say, and in the end this was the case. He has gone to the grave with the honor that his Shahadat came only after, he and his team of 50 chosen soldier, had completed the task that was assigned to them. The same task was unfinished even after 7 days of aerial and ground assaults. He was the only causality of the operation, which shows how much Bilal was devoted to this cause.

I am here to make all the sisters, mothers and daughters of Pakistan affirm that thousands like Bilal are out there, fighting till the last breath of thier life, to secure our future. At his burial, I could easily see that every one, no matter from what profession, were all out to play their part. Whether it’s the aid of IDPs or the honesty to our own profession, every one can be a Bilal.

To the enemies of the state, thier “devil agencies” and the mercenary armies of thugs and bandits, it’s a loud call that you cannot hijack this land of pure, Pakistan. No matter what you do, we will not allow you to play with the vision of Quaid and the dream of Iqbal. We will not go into history as a fail state, and a country which has sons like Bilal, no empire or imperial power can dare think about it.

To BILAL, you will always remain close to us, and all those whom you have blessed with your presence.

You will always live, and will get what Allah has promised for those, who are killed in his path.

Ameen.

  2. Capt. Bilal Shaheed will never be forgotten, InshAllah. He has given the ultimate sacrifice for the Motherland and his Sacrifice is urging the whole nation that Pakistan needs her people beyond their call of duty.

    Dear Hamid Abbasi sb, will it be possible for you to co-operate with me and my other friends who are planning of creating and combining full information regarding Our HEROES. So that the whole of the nation comes know about the HEROES, their SACRIFICE and offer their remembrances.

    We are all Overseas Pakistanis and the thing that we think is lacking is that there is a complete absence of any information about our HEROES and that their is no way we can offer our respect to HEROES families.

    Our goal is to gather as much information about our HEROES, their lives, their SACRIFICES, the Circumstances in which they gave their Every thing.By doing so we can move in the direction of giving our HEROES the respect they deserve and it will also provide the opportunity to the people of the affected areas to know the HEROES who have SCARIFIED their lives to protect them and provide them the better and secure future. This thing will help eliminating the intra provincial racism.

    Please reply in this regard.
    Thanks
