We have forgotten our Heroes :[

COAS Gen. Kayani Paying Tribute To Sipahi Maqbool Hussain who Faced 43 Yrs of Indian Torture
His name is Maqbool Hussain, a native of Azad Kashmir and an Army foot soldier No.335139 who fought in the 1965 Pak India war in Kashmir was wounded and taken prisoner, denied POW status kept as prisoner and subjected to such horrible torture that he is missing his tongue, He was forced to denounce Pakistan verbally and had his tongue cut when he refused. He cannot speak and is mentally unstable now, missing nails on hands and feet and does not remember or recognize anything.

Unmarried but engaged at the time, his mother mother kept waiting for his return. When she died, she was buried at the entrance of the village at her request, so that she could 'meet' her son when he returned. On the homecoming of the soldier, neither his parents, nor his brother of Tarrar Khal were in this world to receive him. One of his two sisters is alive. Perhaps she would have not recognized him as he has lost his identification.

He was honored at the ceremony, guided by another person as he walked on the stage with a blank face. Pakistani Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani walked up to greet him as he was visibly unable to understand the reason of the applause.
