They were not even recognizing him. It was India that acknowledged Sher Khan as a brave soldier in the Kargil War; otherwise, he might have ended up in an unmarked grave.

The Pakistani Armed Forces initially disowned the bodies of Captain Karnal Sher Khan and other soldiers, claiming they were mujahideen. It was only after repeated requests from India that the Pakistani military agreed to accept the bodies of their fallen soldiers.

Pakistan army originally disowned its own dead soldiers when Indians asked them to take away the dead bodies so they could be buried as per Islamic rituals. Eventually Indian army did it. Our army is a civilised army and shows no animosity with the dead soldiers and offers proper funeral rights.

It’s ironic for Pakistan army to be talking about Kargil war soldiers now when they even refused to claim their bodies at the time. Any expert can tell how Islamic or Unislamic is that.
