It is no doubt that brave men who fight to protect their people are the greatest assets of a country and SP CID Chaudhry Aslam was a man who did just that and die a martyr’s death on 9 January 2014 when a bomb blast hit his convoy at Lyari Expressway Karachi. However the government has shown great ignorance by not awarding the Nishan-e-Haider to him which has greatly saddened his wife.
Noreen Aslam, the wife of late Chaudhry Aslam expressed this sadness to the media saying that the government ignored the services of her husband who served his country bravely. She said that she and her family only wanted the Nishan-e-Haider in exchange for his services to pay tribute to him but the government failed to do so and made no announcements of giving such a medal on the day of the ceremony.
This news has also grieved the general public who have expressed rage at this decision of the government who failed to include Chaudhry Aslam in the list of 589 people who received medals. On the other hand, Mufti Shakirullah one of the persons accused of being part of the bombing has accepeted responsibility for the attack.
Mufti Shakirullah revealed that the plan was carried out by two militant organizations, the TTP and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi. He gave details of the people involved in the plan and revealed that the vehicle was prepared in a nearby go down. The vehicle was placed on the route for three days and on the third Chaudhry Aslam passed through there and was killed.
