Major Raja Aziz Bhatti Shaheed is a revered national hero of Pakistan, recognized for his unparalleled bravery and sacrifice. He was awarded the Nishan-e-Haider, Pakistan's highest military gallantry award, for his actions during a critical period in the nation's history.
The correct answer is 1965. Major Aziz Bhatti embraced martyrdom on September 10, 1965, during the Indo-Pakistani War. He was commanding a company in the Burki sector on the Lahore front and chose to remain in an exposed forward observation post for five consecutive days under continuous enemy fire. His steadfastness and courage in directing artillery fire against the advancing Indian forces were instrumental in holding the line, ultimately leading to his martyrdom by an enemy tank shell.
The other options are incorrect: 1971 refers to another major Indo-Pakistani War, but Major Aziz Bhatti was not martyred then. 1948 was the year of the First Kashmir War, which occurred much earlier. 1999 refers to the Kargil War, which took place decades after Major Bhatti's sacrifice.
