ISLAMABAD: President of Pakistan Dr Arif Alvi conferred military honour upon two brave sons of the soil, Wing Commander Noman Ali and Squadron Leader Hasan Mehmood, for downing an Indian jet in February.

President Dr Arif Alvi has approved to confer Pakistan civil awards on 116 individuals from Pakistan as well as some foreign nationals in recognition of their excellence and courage in their respective fields.

According to the ISPR, President has announced Sitara-i-Jurat for one, Tamgha-i-Jurat for two, Sitara-i-Bisalat for eight, Tamgha-i-Bisalat for 88 and certificates for 94 forces' personnel.

Wing Commander Noman Ali was conferred Sitara-i-Jurat and Sq Leader Hasan Mehmood Siddiqui was awarded Tamgha-i-jurat.

Pakistan and India were involved in a rare aerial engagement which had ignited fears of an all-out conflict. On February 27, PAF shot down two Indian warplanes in Pakistan's airspace and captured Indian pilot Abhinandan Varthaman who was released on March 1 as a "peace gesture".

Squadron Leader Siddiqui had been widely named on social media soon after Pakistan's retaliation to India.

Siddiqui, who hails from Karachi, received a hero’s welcome as soon as his plane touched down. According to a video circulating on social media, PAF officials surrounded his aircraft as soon as he landed after successfully engaging the Indian planes. Three years ago, squadron leader Hasan Siddiqui featured in a video paying tribute to the bravery and professionalism of the PAF.

Well deserved - he did the nation proud and won a propaganda war that could have hurt us.

Now this is called a sweet victory. Kudos to the two pilots for their amazing feat and also to Imran Khan for being gracious and returning the captured pilot back to my country. He is the true successor to the great Muhammad Ali Jinnah. He should be given the Nobel Peace Prize too. I'm sure the secular Indians will all agree with me.
 
If the sloths at the IAF aren't trolled by this, they will never learn.

Finally. Its really sad that Abhinandan the failed pilot gets more attention.

Very little do people know about this guy, but than again it should be like that. A Hero's achievements dont get celebrated because what he or she does is an ordinary day for them

Well deserve award and may he get more applause and awards in future
