ISLAMABAD: In a moving gesture of solidarity and national gratitude, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has officially released a special commemorative anthem, Hum Shuhada Hum Ghazi Hain, dedicated to the courage, resilience, and supreme sacrifices of the men and women of the Pakistan Police.

The release honours both the Shuhada (martyrs) who laid down their lives in the line of duty and the Ghazis (veterans and survivors) who continue to stand watch over the country’s security.

The anthem pays homage to the human cost of this vigilance: the officers who never returned home, the empty chairs left at family dinner tables, and the children growing up proud of parents who gave their all for the flag.

Adding profound authenticity to the tribute, the anthem is performed by one of the force’s own — Head Constable Raja Azam Javed of the Punjab Police.

Serving in the department since 2005, HC Raja Azam Javed is a seasoned police professional who has also served as a weapons instructor at the prestigious Police College, Sihala.
