==History==

[[File:Victoria Cross Medal Ribbon & Bar.png|thumb|right|(The Dominion of) Pakistan's army defence personal could earn British military awards such as the [[Victoria Cross]] before 1957 when it became a Republic.]]
Established on 16 March 1957, the award was founded in celebration of Pakistan becoming a Republic and was formally given award status by the [[President of Pakistan]].<ref name="Pakistanpaedia.com"/><ref name="Gazette">{{Cite journal|date=19 March 1957|journal=Gazette of Pakistan|pages=No. F. 40(3)/Pres/57}}</ref><ref name="Medal.org.uk">{{cite web|url=http://www.medals.org.uk/pakistan/pakistan017.htm|title=Republic of Pakistan: Crescent of Courage (Hilal-i-Jur'at)|work=Megan C.

The names of the medals originate from the [[Persian language]] but are written in the form of the [[Arabic language]].<ref name="PAK National Assembly 1966" /><ref group="note" name="ex01">'''[[Shah Azizur Rahman]],''' '''Quote:''' "The Parliamentary Secretary has said that the language inscribed on the military medals instituted by the President is in Arabic.

In the [[Pakistan Parliament]] there was a debate on why the names were given in Persian but were spelled in Arabic as some politicians were not entirely sure other medals made were inscribed of words from the Arabic language in the decade that it was made official.<ref name="PAK National Assembly 1966">{{Cite book|title=Debates: official report, Volume 3, Issues 4–12 (Pakistan.

Pakistan became a republic in 1956. Prior to that Pakistan had been a [[dominion]] of Great Britain and had as such come under the British honours system. When the award was established, however, it was instituted retrospectively back to 15 August 1947—the date of Indian Independence and [[Partition of India]] – and it was subsequently conferred on a number of Pakistani officers for service during the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1947]].
 
One particular unit that appeared in an article from [[Dawn (newspaper)|Dawn]], the Guards Battalion, was mentioned which emphasized that they had earned several [[Military Cross]]es and one [[Victoria Cross]] was congratulated in 2004 by the president. In the article it was emphasized that before partition the unit had been given British gallantry awards which suggests the Hilal-i-Jur'at didn't exist at the time.<ref name="Military Crosses pre 1947">{{Cite news|title=Defence is in safe hands: president|url=http://www.dawn.com/2004/11/11/top1.htm|date=11 November 2004|publisher=Dawn.com|accessdate=14 September 2010}} {{Dead link|date=November 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref>

==Eligibility and Privileges==
 
Officers serving in the [[Pakistani Armed Forces]], including and limited to the [[Pakistan Army]], the [[Pakistani Navy]] and the [[Pakistani Air Force]], are the only eligible potential recipients for the award. It is conferred for acts of [[valour]], [[courage]], [[bravery]] and [[duty|devotion to duty]].<ref name="Pakistanpaedia.com"/><ref name="List of Pakistan Army Awards">{{cite web|url=http://www.pakistanarmy.gov.pk/AWPReview/TextContent.aspx?pId=32&rnd=182|title=Honours and Awards of the Pakistani Army|work=("Honours and Awards" as originally titled)|publisher=Official [[Pakistani Army]] Website|language=English ([[British English|British]])|accessdate=7 September 2010}}</ref><ref group="note" name="ex03"/>  The following is an extract, a word for word statement stating the eligibility of the medal on the Pakistan Army website.
 
<blockquote>
This award is conferrable on officers only, for acts of valour, courage or devotion to duty, performed on land, at sea or in the air in the face of the enemy.
– <small>Pakistan Army (Website)</small>
</blockquote>
 
The recipients of the medal are allowed to use the honorific post nominal title letters "HJ" after their names as stated again by the Pakistan Army:
 
<blockquote>
The recipient has the privilege to add the letters “HJ” after his name.
– <small>Pakistan Army (Website)</small>
</blockquote>
 
Although there rules are clear, there have been some challenges to change the rules. In March 2009 a group of policeman in [[Islamabad]] challenged the eligibility requirements by campaigning for the medal to be given to Faisal Khan, a police officer, who gave up his life by successfully preventing an [[Uzbeks|Uzbek]] [[suicide bomber]] from entering a [[police station]] and causing massive widespread casualties.<ref name="A national hero already forgotten" /> The journalist covering the incident wrote about the anger felt in the community, particularly from the policeman whom Faisal Khan worked with:
 
<blockquote>
...So sad is the situation that the police have to submit a recommendation for an award ‘Hilal-i-Jurrat’ and more money for his brave feat...
 
– <small>Nosheen Abbas, Journalist covering the life of Faisal Khan.</small>
</blockquote>
 
Khan had adamament dreams of joining the military in his youth or the police force. Whilst he was a police officer he was said to have wanted to "die in the line of duty", serving in the military for his country; many of his colleagues felt that this was a viable reason for him qualifying for the Hilal-i-Jur'at since he didn't receive any gallantry award, only a cash lump sum.<ref name="A national hero already forgotten" />

==Benefits==
As well as commanding respect and admiration the Hilal-i-Ju'rat holds huge financial benefits for the recipient including land being given to the awardee.<ref name="Captain Kaiser" /> In accordance with Pakistan Law the recipient of the Hilal-i-Ju'rat is granted "two squares of land" according to retired Major General of the [[Pakistan Army]] [[Tajammul Hussain Malik]], who in his 1991 book, ''The Story of My Struggle'', revealed this.<ref name="Story of My Struggle (Details of finances Ju'rat)">{{Cite book|last=Malik|first=Tajammal Hussain |title=The Story of My Struggle (Autobiography of a retired major general of the Pakistan Army, who was tried and imprisoned in 1980 on charges of trying to overthrow Gen.

Squadron Leader Safaraz was said to have received seventy seven acres (0.3116&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>) of land, which was later donated to a charity to benefit the poor and needy, for both his Hilal-i-Ju'rat and the Sitara-i-Ju'rat medals.<ref name="Captain Kaiser" /><ref group="note">'''Quote:''' ''"His selfless devotion to duty was acknowledged by the award of a Sitara-e-Jurat (along with Cecil and Yunus), as well as a Hilal-e-Jurat. PAF Base, Rafiqui (Shorkot), named after him, rekindles the spirit of his chivalry. (Sarfaraz Rafiqui Welfare Trust, based on 77 acres of prime agricultural land in Faisalabad Division, continues to benefit the poor and the needy. The land, given by the Government of Pakistan as recompense with the awards of HJ & SJ, was most generously bequeathed by Sarfaraz-s parents for the Trust, which is administered by the PAF)"'' '''– Captain Kaiser Tufail''', '''Pakistan Defence Journal (Online)''' About the author '''Quote:''' "(Group Captain Kaiser Tufail was commissioned in 1975. He has flown virtually all types of combat aircraft in PAF including thr F-16. He commanded a Mirage Squadron and later a Flying Wing. A graduate of Air War College, he has also been on its faculty. He holds a Master-s degree in Strategic Studies. For his meritorious services he has been awarded Tamgha-e-Imtiaz (Military) by the Government of Pakistan.)".</ref>
 
Mathematically, if the seventy seven acre's is divided and the sums calculated, one square of land, which was awarded to the Sitara-i-Jur'at recipient (according to the book ''The Story of My Struggle''), then this would mean "one square of land" is the equivalent of 25.41 acres (0.1028&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> or {{convert|0.039703|mi|km|abbr=on}}<sup>2</sup>), making "two squares of land" equal to 50.82 acres (0.2057&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> or {{convert|0.079406|mi|km|abbr=on}}<sup>2</sup>).<ref name="Story of My Struggle (Details of finances Ju'rat)" /><ref name="Wolfram Alpha #1">{{cite web|url=http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=33%25+of+77+acres|title=Wolfram Alpha Search Calculation Based on Tajammul Hussain Malik's Account|accessdate=25 September 2010}}</ref><ref name="Wolfram Alpha #2">{{cite web|url=http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=66%25+of+77+acres|title=Wolfram Alpha Search Calculation Based on Tajammul Hussain Malik's Account|accessdate=25 September 2010}}</ref> The method of calculating the sums is detailed as below with two sources being taken in for consideration to calculate the land awardances on a logical basis.<ref group="note"><u>How The Calculation Was Carried Out:</u>
 
<center><u>Information From Sources</u></center>
 
1 Square of Land is awarded for the Sitara-i-Jur'at, 2 Squares of Land for the Hilal-Jur'at.<br>Safaraz was awarded 77 acres for ''both'' his Sitara-i-Jur'at and Hilal-i-Jur'at medals. This is the equivalent of 3 Squares of land altogether when added up.
 
<center><u>Logistical Method</u></center>
 
77 acres divided by 3 Squares of Land will give you the land in acres given for 1 square of land.
 
Multiply (77 acres divided by 3) altogether by 2 and this gives the 2 Squares of Land in acres for the Hilal-i-Jur'at medal.
 
<center><u>Quick Representation:</u></center>
 
<math>\mathrm{1\ Square\ of\ Land} =(\frac{\mathrm{77\ acres}}{\mathrm{3\ Squares\ of\ Land}}) = 25.41\ acres </math>
 
<math>\mathrm{2\ Squares\ of\ Land} =(\frac{\mathrm{77\ acres}}{\mathrm{3\ Squares\ of\ Land}}) \cdot 2\ Squares\ of\ Land\ = 50.82\ acres </math>
 
</ref>

It was revealed by the Pakistan news agency [[Dawn (newspaper)|Dawn.com]], that the gallantry awards have major cash rewards for the recipients and in the last twelve years this has replaced land awardances given to the recipient under defence housing schemes, which was reported in 2003 to the National Assembly of Pakistan.

Most significantly of all [[Sarfaraz Ahmed Rafiqui|Squadron Leader Sarfaraz Ahmed Rafiqui]], considered a national hero in the region, was bestowed the award after a war between neighbouring countries Pakistan and India erupted. He earned the prestigious award for bravely fighting and defending his pilots against the Indian Air Force during the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1965]] in which he participated to the end. He was shot down over the Indian air base in the final moments of air warfare.<ref name="Captain Kaiser" /><ref name="Air Attack"/><ref>{{Cite book|title=The Detective|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=CHkbAAAAMAAJ&q=hilal+e+jurat&dq=hilal+e+jurat&hl=en&ei=292KTLjTLMySswb33cSgAg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9&ved=0CEgQ6AEwCA|volume=Volume 17|year=1969|publisher=East Pakistan Police Co-operative Society|pages=29, 31}}</ref>
 
His equipment malfunctioned and subsequently he was left in a position to attempt to lure enemy pilots away from concentrating fire on the two fully functioning jets left on the battlefield. Taking on heavy fire during the air attack on 6 September, he was finally brought down and crashed in the airfield.<ref name="Air Attack"/> His parents were informed he was given the honour in a telegram sent by the [[Pakistan Air Force|PAF]].<ref name="Captain Kaiser" />
 
The mission he was sent on went awry as the result of his guns jamming mid-battle, and as the fighting commenced IAF pilot, Flight Lieutenant DN Rathore of 27th Squadron, shot down his fighter jet after Rafiqui's unit caused significant damage to the enemy. It is reported eight Hunters and five pilots were destroyed, which included the defeat of the IAF Squadron Leader Ajit Kumar `Peter' Rawlley of the 7th Squadron of the Indian Air Forces.<ref name="Captain Kaiser" /> Rafiqui's qualification for the posthumous honour was enhanced as a direct result of the prestigious [[Pakistan Air Force Academy|''Best Pilot Trophy'' from the Pakistan Air Force Academy]] in [[Risalpur]] where he received it five months after graduating, leading him to be apportioned the penultimate gallantry award from the state, the ''Hilal-i-Ju'rat'' after the 1965 war had ended.<ref name="Captain Kaiser" /> He, along with his subordinates, [[Cecil Chaudhry]] and Yunis Hussain, were given the [[Sitara-i-Jurat|Sitara-i-Jur'at]].

<blockquote>
Despite the poor conditions of the police and the faulty hierarchic and bureaucratic system in the police force, he sank with his ship. But was he acknowledged by the state as a hero? Certainly not. Prime Minister’s adviser on Interior Senator Rehman Malik had announced Rs150,000 for his family – which is a measly amount for someone’s life – for someone who sacrificed his life for others and is nothing less than a national hero[...] Sadly the state too has not shown its appreciation of such a man who saved the lives of so many especially in a time when they are most ill-equipped and the prime targets[...] Its individuals like Faisal Khan who make the difference but get little acknowledgement. When will the government realise that their faces are saved from public humiliation because of the sacrifice of many Faisal Khans[?]
 
– <small>Nosheen Abbas, documenting the life Faisal Khan, 3 April 2009.</small>
</blockquote>
 
Controversy arose when this amount was seen as not being nearly enough for what he had done, and that the thirty-year-old Khan deserved more for his sacrifice such as gaining the prestigious Hilal-i-Jur'at for his duty in guarding the station. In memory, because of his aspirations in wanting to always "join the army or police force" in his youth and adult life, some thought he deserved the gallantry award in honour for what he did in protecting and saving the lives of many people around the area. The police force decided to [[protest|campaign]] against the low sum of money that was given to him by submitting a recommendation for him to receive the Hilal-i-Jur'at to the [[government of Pakistan]], as they saw it as an [[shame|embarrassment]] for the state in not recognising Khan as a "national hero".<ref name="A national hero already forgotten">{{Cite news|url=http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/the-newspaper/national/a-national-hero-already-forgotten|title=A national hero already forgotten|last=Abbas|first=Nosheen|date=3 April 2009|work=FROM THE PAPER - NATIONAL|publisher=Dawn.com|accessdate=22 September 2010|location=Pakistan, Islamabad}}</ref>

It was created and declared for official use on 16 March 1957 by the President of Pakistan.[1][2][3] The Hilal-i-Ju'rat is considered to be the equivalent of the Distinguished Service Order and the Distinguished Service Cross.[1] The medal is only conferable to those who are ranked at an Officer level only and it is only allowed to be given to the Army (excluding paramilitary personnel), Navy and Air-force.[3] The award before this honour is the Sitara-i-Ju'rat (Star of Courage), and subsequent to this medal is the Tamgha-i-Ju'rat (Medal of Courage).[1]

Unlike the Nishan-i-Haider, the Hilal-i-Ju'rat is the highest military award thus far that's been given to living Pakistanis to date.[note 2] The medallion has been given to many famous Pakistani army personal, including many national heroes. Most notably, well known major generals, brigadiers and lieutenants of the Pakistan Armed Forces have all received the medal.[note 3]

Established on 16 March 1957, the award was founded in celebration of Pakistan becoming a Republic and was formally given award status by the President of Pakistan.[1][2][6][note 4] According to the official army website of Pakistan the award is given for "acts of valour, courage or devotion to duty, performed on land, at sea or in the air in the face of the enemy".[3][6][note 5] The recipient of the award is able to use the distinguished honorific post-nominal letters "HJ" after his or her name.[6] The apportion is considered to be the equivalent to the Distinguished Service Order under the British Honours System and the United States Distinguished Service Cross.[1]

The names of the medals originate from the Persian language but are written in the form of the Arabic language.[7][note 4] This was unusual since the major languages of Pakistan are Punjabi and Urdu. In the Pakistan Parliament there was a debate on why the names were given in Persian but were spelled in Arabic as some politicians were not entirely sure other medals made were inscribed of words from the Arabic language in the decade that it was made official.[7]

Pakistan became a republic in 1956. Prior to that Pakistan had been a dominion of Great Britain and had as such come under the British honours system. When the award was established, however, it was instituted retrospectively back to 15 August 1947—the date of Indian Independence and Partition of India – and it was subsequently conferred on a number of Pakistani officers for service during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1947.

One particular unit that appeared in an article from Dawn, the Guards Battalion, was mentioned which emphasized that they had earned several Military Crosses and one Victoria Cross was congratulated in 2004 by the president. In the article it was emphasized that before partition the unit had been given British gallantry awards which suggests the Hilal-i-Jur'at didn't exist at the time.[8]

Appearance

It is a circular golden medal, surrounded by ten bundles of golden leaves with the Islamic crescent and star at its centre, suspended from a golden bar that reads "Hilal-i-Ju'rat" in Persian with Arabic lettering in gold. The ribbon attached to the golden bar is made up of three stripes, totalling two colours (two red and one green) that have been placed on the gallantary award.[1] On the official Pakistan Army website the colour insignia is seen as being red, green, red.[1][9]

Eligibility and Privileges

Officers serving in the Pakistani Armed Forces, including and limited to the Pakistan Army, the Pakistani Navy and the Pakistani Air Force, are the only eligible potential recipients for the award. It is conferred for acts of valour, courage, bravery and devotion to duty.[1][3][note 5] The following is an extract, a word for word statement stating the eligibility of the medal on the Pakistan Army website.

This award is conferrable on officers only, for acts of valour, courage or devotion to duty, performed on land, at sea or in the air in the face of the enemy. – Pakistan Army (Website)

The recipients of the medal are allowed to use the honorific post nominal title letters "HJ" after their names as stated again by the Pakistan Army:

The recipient has the privilege to add the letters “HJ” after his name. – Pakistan Army (Website)

Although there rules are clear, there have been some challenges to change the rules. In March 2009 a group of policeman in Islamabad challenged the eligibility requirements by campaigning for the medal to be given to Faisal Khan, a police officer, who gave up his life by successfully preventing an Uzbek suicide bomber from entering a police station and causing massive widespread casualties.[10] The journalist covering the incident wrote about the anger felt in the community, particularly from the policeman whom Faisal Khan worked with:

...So sad is the situation that the police have to submit a recommendation for an award ‘Hilal-i-Jurrat’ and more money for his brave feat...

Nosheen Abbas, Journalist covering the life of Faisal Khan.

Khan had adamament dreams of joining the military in his youth or the police force. Whilst he was a police officer he was said to have wanted to "die in the line of duty", serving in the military for his country; many of his colleagues felt that this was a viable reason for him qualifying for the Hilal-i-Jur'at since he didn't receive any gallantry award, only a cash lump sum.[10] Benefits of Residing in a Apartment or Landed property in Singapore Property New Launches & Project Showcase In Singapore Many residential Singapore property sales involve buying property in Singapore at new launches.

Benefits

As well as commanding respect and admiration the Hilal-i-Ju'rat holds huge financial benefits for the recipient including land being given to the awardee.[11] In accordance with Pakistan Law the recipient of the Hilal-i-Ju'rat is granted "two squares of land" according to retired Major General of the Pakistan Army Tajammul Hussain Malik, who in his 1991 book, The Story of My Struggle, revealed this.[4]

Squadron Leader Safaraz was said to have received seventy seven acres (0.3116 km2) of land, which was later donated to a charity to benefit the poor and needy, for both his Hilal-i-Ju'rat and the Sitara-i-Ju'rat medals.[11][note 6]

Mathematically, if the seventy seven acre's is divided and the sums calculated, one square of land, which was awarded to the Sitara-i-Jur'at recipient (according to the book The Story of My Struggle), then this would mean "one square of land" is the equivalent of 25.41 acres (0.1028 km2 or Template:Convert2), making "two squares of land" equal to 50.82 acres (0.2057 km2 or Template:Convert2).[4][12][13] The method of calculating the sums is detailed as below with two sources being taken in for consideration to calculate the land awardances on a logical basis.[note 7]

1SquareofLand=(77acres3SquaresofLand)1=25.41acres
2SquaresofLand=(77acres3SquaresofLand)2=50.82acres

It was revealed by the Pakistan news agency Dawn.com, that the gallantry awards have major cash rewards for the recipients and in the last twelve years this has replaced land awardances given to the recipient under defence housing schemes, which was reported in 2003 to the National Assembly of Pakistan. Rs.500,000 rupees (£3679.98 or $5824.13, or €4317.5 as of September 2010)[14] are given as recompense for obtaining the Hilal-i-Ju'rat during service.[5][note 8]

During the Kargil Conflict in 1999, however, land was given to those that participated in the war and to those that gained gallantry awards. The Kargil Conflict was the only exception to this when it came to the land awards when the housing schemes were taking place.[5]

Recipients

47 year-old Podiatrist Hyslop from Alert Bay, has lots of hobbies and interests that include fencing, property developers in condo new launch singapore and handball. Just had a family trip to Monasteries of Haghpat and Sanahin.

Several high profile generals of the Pakistan army have received the Hilal-i-Jur'at medal, who've gone on to make successful careers in the army and in Pakistani politics including Akhtar Abdur Rahman, who was known as the second most powerful man in Pakistan during the 1980s, known for being the head of the Inter-Services Intelligence Agency (ISI) during Zia-ul-Huq's Presidency.Potter or Ceramic Artist Truman Bedell from Rexton, has interests which include ceramics, best property developers in singapore developers in singapore and scrabble. Was especially enthused after visiting Alejandro de Humboldt National Park. The ISI is the equivalence of the British intelligence service, MI5 and for Americans, the CIA.[15]

General Ayub Khan, the first military ruler of Pakistan who became a controversial figure towards the end of his presidency, serving as the second President of Pakistan between 1958 to 1969, also received the award.[16][17] Notably A.O. Mitha, a legendary Major General who played a significant part in the 1971 Liberation War in which he was stationed in East Pakistan (modern day Bangladesh), which ultimately lead to the Secession of Bangladesh, was also bestowed the medal.[18][19]

Other notable heroic personnel of the Pakistan Army who died during service and were given the medal in the line of fire include Ghulam Hussain Shaheed for his duty in standing his ground during an ambush by the Indian army near Pakistan's modern day border, near Kasur (of which it was later renamed after him). He was said to have held the national flag of Pakistan until his last breath when he was fatally wounded twice during battle with Indian armed soldiers.Potter or Ceramic Artist Truman Bedell from Rexton, has interests which include ceramics, best property developers in singapore developers in singapore and scrabble.

File:Squadron Leader Sarfaraz Ahmed Rafiqui.jpg
Portrait of Squadron Leader Sarfaraz Ahmed Rafiqui, recipient of the Hilal-i-Jur'at, earned owing to his exceptional stance during the 1965 Indo-Pak War.

Most significantly of all Squadron Leader Sarfaraz Ahmed Rafiqui, considered a national hero in the region, was bestowed the award after a war between neighbouring countries Pakistan and India erupted. He earned the prestigious award for bravely fighting and defending his pilots against the Indian Air Force during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 in which he participated to the end. He was shot down over the Indian air base in the final moments of air warfare.[11][21][22]

His equipment malfunctioned and subsequently he was left in a position to attempt to lure enemy pilots away from concentrating fire on the two fully functioning jets left on the battlefield. Taking on heavy fire during the air attack on 6 September, he was finally brought down and crashed in the airfield.[21] His parents were informed he was given the honour in a telegram sent by the PAF.[11]

The mission he was sent on went awry as the result of his guns jamming mid-battle, and as the fighting commenced IAF pilot, Flight Lieutenant DN Rathore of 27th Squadron, shot down his fighter jet after Rafiqui's unit caused significant damage to the enemy. It is reported eight Hunters and five pilots were destroyed, which included the defeat of the IAF Squadron Leader Ajit Kumar `Peter' Rawlley of the 7th Squadron of the Indian Air Forces.[11] Rafiqui's qualification for the posthumous honour was enhanced as a direct result of the prestigious Best Pilot Trophy from the Pakistan Air Force Academy in Risalpur where he received it five months after graduating, leading him to be apportioned the penultimate gallantry award from the state, the Hilal-i-Ju'rat after the 1965 war had ended.[11] He, along with his subordinates, Cecil Chaudhry and Yunis Hussain, were given the Sitara-i-Jur'at. Chaudhry was the only survivor left who made it back to the home airbase.[11][23] Pakistan’s third airbase, the Rafiqui Airbase (Shorkot Cantonment), is named after Sarfaraz.[24] His body was never found and still lies somewhere around the Halwara Airbase where the battle took place.

Faisal Khan

File:Faisal Khan's Sacrifice - Memorial (Islamabad).jpg
A photograph of Khan is placed over a wreath where his main body parts lay, after the blast.[10]

On 23 March 2009, Faisal Khan, who was outside the gates of the "G-7 special police branch", was killed when he stopped and refused to let go of an apparent suicide bomber of Uzbek origin who wanted to blow up the police compound near Sitara Market in Islamabad.[42] After he was killed many around the area were thankful for his sacrifice, especially the local police, who thought Khan deserved being given heroic status by the country.[10] Although the bomber did kill several people, it was thought he could have done more damage by causing a high number of casualties which could have arisin if Khan didn't stop the man going towards the branch.[10][42] The building was described as being "poorly guarded" at the time.[10][42] Khan only received Rs.150,000 (£1107.68 or $1753.41 or €1300.87 as of September 2010), which was given to his siblings, as he had no parents nor a family of his own.[10][43]

Despite the poor conditions of the police and the faulty hierarchic and bureaucratic system in the police force, he sank with his ship. But was he acknowledged by the state as a hero? Certainly not. Prime Minister’s adviser on Interior Senator Rehman Malik had announced Rs150,000 for his family – which is a measly amount for someone’s life – for someone who sacrificed his life for others and is nothing less than a national hero[...] Sadly the state too has not shown its appreciation of such a man who saved the lives of so many especially in a time when they are most ill-equipped and the prime targets[...] Its individuals like Faisal Khan who make the difference but get little acknowledgement. When will the government realise that their faces are saved from public humiliation because of the sacrifice of many Faisal Khans[?]

Nosheen Abbas, documenting the life Faisal Khan, 3 April 2009.

Controversy arose when this amount was seen as not being nearly enough for what he had done, and that the thirty-year-old Khan deserved more for his sacrifice such as gaining the prestigious Hilal-i-Jur'at for his duty in guarding the station. In memory, because of his aspirations in wanting to always "join the army or police force" in his youth and adult life, some thought he deserved the gallantry award in honour for what he did in protecting and saving the lives of many people around the area. The police force decided to campaign against the low sum of money that was given to him by submitting a recommendation for him to receive the Hilal-i-Jur'at to the government of Pakistan, as they saw it as an embarrassment for the state in not recognising Khan as a "national hero".[10]

Notes

  1. Various official sources that are highly reputable spell the name of the medal differently, so the Pakistan Army website spelling is being taken as the official spelling construction.
  2. The Nishan-i-Haider has been given to ten people officially since conception in 1957, some have received it before it's official creation when it was given posthumously soon after 1957, when it was made into law. Prior to this, under the British Honours System soldiers who displayed the utmost valiant acts of bravery were given the Victoria Cross.
