Front-Line Leadership

Spending Eids with Jawans on the frontlines, General Raheel Sharif always stood hand in hand with those defending the nation. He never once failed in reaching the terror sites himself to offering the funeral prayers of those martyred and then consoling their families. Always being there for his people, he always displayed the best possible form of leadership one could.

General Raheel Sharif – A Ray of Hope 

The shattering of the nation after the worst attack on humanity at APS Peshawar, was when Gen Raheel Sharif appeared as a ray of hope and symbol of courage for the whole of the nation. His presence when the school re-opened adding to the smiles and confidence of the students made them remember it forever that their Army Chief was there for them during the toughest part of their lives.

Revolving his service around courage and competence, General Raheel Sharif successfully silenced his critics by improving situations for Pakistanis who had been continuous prey to extremism and terrorism. Taking bold steps with courage all throughout, he has indeed set a high legacy for all his successors to follow.

    A wonderful piece of writing and a good biographic depiction of an army officer. From a family of illustrious warriors, Raheel Sharif was no match to his great uncle Aziz and his flamboyant myrtered brother Shabbir Sharif Shaheed. Lastly his joining hands with infamous Muhammad Bin Suleiman is also a debatable decision.
    The writer however deserves appreciation for her brevity and to the point approach.

    A wonderful read. An excellent soldier but still no match to his courageous uncle Aziz Bhatti and flamboyant brother Shabbir Sharif Shaheed.
    All the best Irtebaat dear
