The Sitara-e-Shujaat awarded to Liaqat Shaheed has become a symbol of national pride after the government officially recognized his extraordinary bravery and sacrifice in stopping a suicide attacker and saving countless lives.
On the recommendation of the Prime Minister, President Asif Ali Zardari approved the Sitara-e-Shujaat awarded to Liaqat Shaheed, honoring his courage and dedication. Liaqat Shaheed, son of Kareem Elahi, gave his life while confronting a suicide terrorist, preventing what could have been a major tragedy.
Officials said his heroic action reflects unmatched bravery and a strong sense of duty. The decision to award the Sitara-e-Shujaat awarded to Liaqat Shaheed highlights the state’s recognition of his sacrifice as an example for the entire nation.

The family of Liaqat Shaheed has left for Islamabad to receive the award. His mother, son, and brother will be presented the honor in a formal ceremony.
During their travel, the family has been provided full official protocol. An Assistant Commissioner from Jand is accompanying them, while an elite security unit has been deployed to ensure their safety and smooth facilitation.
The Sitara-e-Shujaat awarded to Liaqat Shaheed will be officially presented later today in Islamabad. The recognition stands as a national tribute to his courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to protecting innocent lives.
