On July 5, 2025, Pakistan’s Armed Forces, led by Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, commemorated the 26th martyrdom anniversary of Captain Karnal Sher Khan, Nishan-e-Haider, for his heroic sacrifice during the 1999 Kargil conflict.

Born January 1, 1970, in Swabi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Captain Sher Khan of the 12th Northern Light Infantry led with valour at 17,000 feet in Gultari during the Kargil conflict. On July 5, 1999, he reclaimed a post from Indian forces, engaging in close combat and inflicting heavy casualties. Fatally wounded by machine-gun fire, his bravery earned a rare Indian commendation, per ISPR. He was posthumously awarded Pakistan’s highest military honour, Nishan-e-Haider.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) hailed Sher Khan’s “unwavering courage” and “selfless devotion,” noting his leadership inspired the nation. The Armed Forces renewed their pledge to uphold their values of loyalty and honour. Social media tributes like “Karnal Sher Khan’s sacrifice lives on,” with 100,000 engagements. His story, rooted in a patriotic family, his grandfather fought in the 1948 Kashmir Movement, continues to inspire.

The 1999 Kargil conflict, costing 4,000 lives, saw Pakistan defend strategic posts along the Line of Control. Sher Khan’s raids and counterattacks, alongside Havaldar Lalak Jan’s martyrdom, marked a historic stand, per Pakistan Army records. The conflict, which ended on July 26, 1999, remains a symbol of resilience, with Sher Khan’s actions celebrated in military academies and schools, reaching 10 million students annually.

Captain Karnal Sher Khan’s 26th-anniversary tribute underscores Pakistan’s reverence for its martyrs, impacting 220 million citizens. His Nishan-e-Haider, one of 11 awarded, symbolises national pride amid ongoing security challenges, such as the recent North Waziristan operation.
