Great Hero,
May Almighty bless the soul of this pious hero, who fought like a true warrior. He wasamongst the rare breed of our valiant soldiers, who gave their all when duty called, and was never involved in the greed for real estate, after which those who followed him are blindly and shamefully obsessed with.
He is great hero and I love to tell his great stories to my children proudly.God bless him.
before telling his stories ask yourself why he was not promoted to highest rank of air force and was discouraged to leave the job after getting one star promotion in air force.

Real hero, May Allah bless his soul -Aameen
May he be blessed. He was the greatest war hero, and I'm proud to have known him personally.
Answer to the question as to why he was passed over for further promotion:
He whistle-blew corruption on purchase of radar system by the air chief Anwer Shamim during Ziaul-Haq time, which back-fired and Zia double-crossed Alam and supported the air chief and Alam got canned. A great injustice indeed.
2nd to none. he was the real Hero.
MAY ALLAH KEEP HIS SOUL IN REST.
