Unsung Heroes: KP Police Sacrifices Overlooked Despite Decades of Service.

PESHAWAR – The negative effects of the 9/11 incident on the homeland, especially on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, will not be resolved for several decades. This event, which cannot be forgotten, has had lasting impacts. It is undeniable that peace has been established only through the eternal sacrifices of the police and security agencies. The public has also vigorously celebrated this achievement. Hundreds of young men have sacrificed their lives in the war against terrorism, including notable names like Malik Saad Shaheed, Safwat Ghayur Shaheed, Abid Ali Shaheed, and Khan Raziq Shaheed. Among those who sacrificed for the establishment of peace, the police have produced many martyrs. The list of martyrs is long, including Arbab Inamullah Khan, a brave police officer who survived two terrorist plots by the enemies of peace. Despite these attacks, the saboteurs could not lower the morale of this lion-hearted police officer, and he continues to serve the country and the nation with the same dedication. Arbab Inamullah Khan was attacked twice. The first attack occurred when he was returning from the room of former provincial minister Arbab Ayub Jan after handling official affairs. His car was completely destroyed, seriously injuring others in the vehicle, including Arbab Inamullah Khan and Constable Muhammad Rashid. The second deadly attack involved planting explosives outside his house, but he miraculously escaped unhurt. Despite being advised to be cautious, Inamullah Khan chose to stand firm and fight for his motherland rather than run away from difficult situations. However, it is unfortunate that when a ceremony is organized in Peshawar to honor police veterans, the authorities ignore and exclude deserving individuals from the event. Despite this bias, the two defenders of the motherland continue to perform their duties with zeal and honesty, and both deserve tribute. In 2021, news regarding their bravery was broadcast, and the police officers had called the two Ghazis to their office. But despite two years having passed, both Ghazis have been left out of the program. When contacted, the higher officers said they were focusing on new martyrs and could not include old martyrs and veterans in the list. Although reports about these two officials have repeatedly surfaced on social media, the officers have not acknowledged them. The question remains: Aren’t these policemen part of the force that is invited on the occasion of Martyrs’ Day?
