Among the recipients was Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Asim Munir who was bestowed with Hilal-i-Jurat by President Asif Ali Zardari for leading the army during the most difficult of times.<br \/>\nThe awards ceremony came against the backdrop of the recent Pakistan-India conflict, which saw Washington brokering a ceasefire between the two nuclear-armed neighbours after New Delhi launched attacks inside Pakistan \u2014 under the pretext of targeting terrorists \u2014 which it said were responsible for the Pahalgam attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).<br \/>\nIndia\u2019s attacks prompted Pakistan to launch Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos after downing six Indian Air Force fighter jets, including three Rafales, in response to Indian unprovoked aggression. Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Chief of Air Staff Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu was conferred with Hilal-i-Jurat at today\u2019s ceremony.<br \/>\nFollowing the conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours, Pakistan launched a diplomatic offensive and sent a delegation led by Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman and former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari to the United States, UK and other European countries to present Pakistan\u2019s stance to the world.<br \/>\nMembers of the parliamentary delegation include Hina Rabbani Khar, Sherry Rehman, Dr Musadik Malik, Khurram Dastgir Khan, Jalil Abbas Jilani, Tehmina Janjua, Bushra Anjum Butt and Syed Faisal Subzwari.<br \/>\nThe delegation held various key meetings with high-ranking officials during their tour and played a significant role in propagating and strengthening Pakistan\u2019s narrative and countering Indian propaganda \u2014 for which Bilawal was bestowed with Nishan-e-Imtiaz.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD In connection with the 78th Independence Day \u2014 observed Thursday with a special focus on Marka-e-Haq, the recent armed conflict with India \u2014 the President House hosted a special investiture ceremony where the country\u2019s top civil and military leaders were bestowed national awards.
