Why not the highest civilian award, Nishan e Imtiaz?Arshad Nadeem to be awarded Hilal-e-Imtiaz
President Asif Ali Zardari has directed that javelin star Arshad Nadeem be awarded the Hilal-e-Imtiaz — the second-highest award given by the Government of Pakistan — for his record-breaking performance in the Paris Olympics 2024.
The president will confer the civilian award to Nadeem in a special ceremony, recognising his distinguished services in the field of sports, a statement from the Aiwan-e-Sadr said Saturday.
Following the president's directive, the Aiwan-e-Sadr has sent a letter to the Cabinet Division, requesting the award for the athlete.
The letter highlights Nadeem's exceptional performance, which has brought great pride to the nation. His remarkable achievements on the global stage have become a source of national pride, as he has significantly elevated Pakistan's status in the field of athletics.
The president will bestow the civilian award on Nadeem under Article 259(2) of the Constitution, which allows the President to honour citizens for their valuable contributions across various fields.
Nadeem won the Olympic men’s javelin title in Paris on Thursday, beating defending champion Neeraj Chopra of India to secure Pakistan's first individual medal at a Summer Games.
The six-feet-three-inch-tall Nadeem made the country proud by hurling the javelin to 92.97 metres, improving the Olympic record by over 2.50 metres, and forcing the packed-to-capacity crowd to give him a standing ovation.
Before Arshad’s remarkable victory, Pakistan had never won an individual gold medal at the Olympics.
All of Pakistan’s previous three gold medals came in field hockey, with their team winning gold in 1960, 1968, and 1984.
Prior to Thursday, only two Pakistan athletes had won individual medals of any colour — with a wrestling bronze in 1960 and a boxing bronze in 1988.
Since the 1992 Barcelona Games, Pakistan has not won a medal of any kind.
Speaking exclusively to Geo News, Pakistani ace javelin thrower said: “It was my day. I could have thrown at a greater distance.”
This outstanding achievement has elevated Pakistan’s status on the global sports stage.
The 27-year-old will be returning to his hometown, Lahore, via Istanbul at night when the clock marks 1am on Sunday.
Nadeem’s hometown, Khanewal, is very excited to celebrate his triumph in grand style.

This is where the country is messed up.No withholding tax on Arshad Nadeem’s prize money, FBR clarifies
The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has clarified that no withholding tax will be imposed on the prize money awarded to national athlete Arshad Nadeem. The Olympian, hailed as a national hero, will receive full support from the authorities.
Speaking to The Express Tribune, FBR member and spokesperson Bakhtiar Muhammad stated, "There will be no tax on the prize money given to Arshad Nadeem. The income or withholding tax does not apply to such awards."
He explained that under Section 156 of the Income Tax Ordinance, there is no mention of taxes on Olympic rewards.
He further noted that Section 156 only refers to withholding tax on lottery winnings, prize bonds, quizzes, and marketing-related prize schemes by companies.
"Arshad Nadeem is a national hero, and we will extend all possible support to him," Bakhtiar added.
The clarification comes amid rumours that the federal, Punjab, and Sindh governments' announced rewards for Nadeem's outstanding performance would be taxed. The FBR has firmly denied these baseless rumours.
Nadeem made history by winning Pakistan's first-ever Olympic gold medal in athletics, securing the top spot in the men's javelin throw at the 2024 Paris Games. His victory, particularly against defending champion Neeraj Chopra of India, has elevated him to the status of a national hero.
Nadeem set a new Olympic record with a throw of 92.97 metres, securing a gold medal at the Paris Olympics. He has become an inspiration for the youth.
Apart from the highly justified praise on Nadeem, he was also showered with rewards for his outstanding performance. On behalf of the Punjab government, chief minister Maryam Nawaz announced a whopping Rs100 million reward for the javelin ace. In addition to this, the Sindh government will also make the Olympic gold medalist's pockets a little heavier after announcing he is to be given Rs50 million.
In addition, Sindh Governor Tessori announced Rs1 million, and singer Ali Zafar and cricketer Ahmed Shahzad Rs1 million each. Also, Karachi Electric (KE) has decided to contribute Rs2 million for Nadeem, and the World Athletics Federation will give a US$50,000 winning prize.

Arshad Nadeem is a national hero, and we will extend all possible support to him, says spokesperson
!. Remember Gama Pehelwan!!. Most Indian's have taken this defeat well other then the likes of Arnab Goswami who see some doping in Arshad's victory
to make matters worse, some indian staff were also deported from France.A man who could not afford food but wins the gold medal at the greatest sporting event on earth. This is a fantasy coming true in a tournament that the whole world was watching. Better still was the Pak flag flying way higher over the Indian and and our anthem being the only one that was played. This is much bigger then our cricketers having won ICC tournaments in the past make no mistake about this. As if all this wasn't enough Arshad broke the world record as well.
Surely, we have to venture in to other Sports now even if it is at the expense of boring old Cricket a minority Sport. We can excel at Wrestling, Boxing, Shooting, Javelin and weight lifting. Our Punjab is full of strong men who eat a goat every dayRo Arnab beta aur ro! Baap and all that!!
hes always been more pro PML-N, even if u look at his old videos. whatever the reasons for that maybe, however it makes no sense to not capitalise on his success, and this is all part of it.
On one banner I saw Maryam's face bigger than Arshad's

Let's hope he keeps his promise.
Such a good hearted lady. Well done!
not really.
Are you sure about not clearing its image. It's hijacked the poor guy. But nothing will change because in a few weeks it will be forgotten and they will still be the crooks that destroyed every institution
Arshad himself asked Maryam to put the medal on him.
Off course he did, just like he asked SS to wake up the next day and pretend that he was watching live
or asked all the mafia to turn up and hijack his celebrations at the airport
Tendulkar should be stripped off his Bharat Ratna award because he no longer a civilian but the spearhead of RSS politics.
