ISLAMABAD: The nation was indebted to soldiers who laid down their lives for the security of the motherland, said President Dr. Arif Alvi on Wednesday. In his message on the 74th martyrdom anniversary of Captain Raja Muhammad Sarwar, the first recipient of Nishan-i-Haider honour, the president paid rich tribute to the “brave son of the soil”. “Captain Muhammad Sarwar Shaheed bravely and gallantly fought the enemies of the country,” he said. The president prayed for the elevation of ranks of the soul of Sarwar and all others who followed suit over the period of time. His only son, also a soldier, and a daughter are settled in his native Sangoori village of Gujar Khan.
