Summary
DescriptionCaptain Raja Muhammad Sarwar Bhatti Shaheed, Nishan e Haider (5997687098).jpg |
Wreath Laying Platform at the monument at Sanghori (native village of Captain Raja Muhammad Sarwar Bhatti Shaheed Nishan e Haider) astride GT Road near Mandra to commemorate the sacrifice made by the Shaheed. One of the two recipients of Nishan e Haider (the highest gallantry award of Pakistan) who are not buried in Pakistan. War Account: The Battle of Tilpatra, Uri Sector (Kashmir Campaign: 1947-48) Captain Muhammad Sarwar was completing the professional course at School of Signals, General Headquarters Rawalpindi, in 1948 when his unit 2 Punjab Regiment was ordered to join the Kashmir Campaign. Captain Sarwar insistently requested the Officer Commanding at Signals School to join his unit in war. He was appointed as Signals Officer after joining 2 Punjab Regiment in Kashmir. He volunteered himself to lead the troops in attack on Tilpatra Ridge. On 27 July 1948 (20 Ramzan 1367 AH), Captain Sarwar along with his troops launched the offensive at 0300 hrs in the morning. The attack was launched fiercely and progressed consistently with Capt Sarwar leading the front. At a time once the Machine Gun Firer of his platoon was martyred, Capt Sarwar himself assumed the responsibility of Machine Gun Firer and inflicted heavy losses onto enemy (the troops quote the death toll to be around 40 solely due to Capt Sarwar’s action). During the attack, Capt Sarwar crawled forward close to enemy defenses and neutralized enemy Machine Gun bunker by lobbing a hand grenade. He got wounded during action, but never let go his spirit of advance. Capt Sarwar led his troops to the wire fence in close proximity of enemy defenses and started cutting the wire to make way for the assault. During this action, a burst of enemy machine gun fire hit his chest, but displaying the hallmark of selfless devotion and ignoring personal safety in the eyes of danger, Capt Sarwar continued cutting the wired fence making a way forward possible for his troops. His battle cry of Allah o Akbar injected a new fighting spirit into his soldiers who attacked the enemy defences from the wire fence gap created by Capt Sarwar. The troops succeeded in capturing the tactical feature of Tilpatra Ridge thus attaining their objective, but Capt Sarwar had succumbed to his injuries and embraced martyrdom. He lays buried at Tilpatra Ridge, now in Indian Occupied Kashmir. In acknowledgement of the great valour and steadfastness displayed by Capt Raja Muhammad Sarwar Bhatti Shaheed, and utter disregard to personal safety in the eyes of danger to accomplish the desired objective, he was posthumously awarded the highest gallantry award of Pakistan, Nishan e Haider. Captain Raja Muhammad Sarwar Bhatti Shaheed was the first recipient of Nishan e Haider and set a precedence that was followed by other brave officers and soldiers of Pakistan in the times to come. Salute to the Martyr of the Battle of Kashmir Salute to the valour of the First Nishan e Haider of the nation |
