Pakistani Cadet Wins Overseas Sword Of Honor At RMAS

Pakistani Cadet englandIslamabad: Pakistani cadet Corporal Asad Mushtaq added to the pride of the nation after winning the coveted Sword of Honor at the prestigious Royal British Military Academy of Sandhurst (RMAS) on August 9 in England.

The “Sword of Honor” was presented to the young cadet by the Countess of Essex on the country’s Sovereign Parade Day.
Yearly the senior division of the city holds three Sovereign’s Parades in which the best overseas cadet chosen by the foreign armies is awarded with the prestigious award. The British officers get their official armed training at RMAS and are considered a hub of training practices for its international recognition.

Asad in his media briefings named the wining to the army officials and the martyrs. He attributed the success to the Pakistan Military Academy from where he got training in Kakul.

Pakistan High Commission organized a reception later in honor of the award winner which was attended by the Army and Air Adviser Colonel Muhammad Zulfiqar Bhatti and the various media representatives. Pakistan High Commissioner for UK Mr. Wajid Shamsul Hasan who was also present on the occasion presented good wishes to the young cadet and said that his spectacular performance has earned name to the nation. He further asked Asad to continue his army practices in future on which the commissioned officer promised to work with same zeal, enthusiasm and hard work in the future.

The RMA Sandhurst was formed in 1947, from a merger of the Royal Military Academy in Woolwich (which trained officers for the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers from 1741 to 1939) and the Royal Military College at Sandhurst.

Following the ending of National Service in the UK, the RMAS became the sole establishment for initial officer training in the British Army.

The Pakistani media known for its sensationalising and biasness failed to present the pride moment before the nation that brought good name to the country. Instead of encouraging the young comissioned officer for being honored internationally because of his deligent performance in the parades our media covered it as part of some foreign local happening.

Like many other important issues our media failed to due its role. Every day happenings related to Bollywood especially are immensely given importance but the widely covered Muslim suppressed stories, stories that add pride to the nations are neglected unfortunately which raise questions over the responsiblities of media in the society.
