A 15-year Dabang guy, Aitzaz Hassan, who sacrificed his life for the sake of hundreds of others lives of his schoolmates, has undoubtedly proved that there is no dearth of Malalas who are always ready to take on those hell-bent to threaten our peace and dominate their self-style ideology.

The bravery Aitzaz showed to prevent his school from devastation by a misguided suicide bomber left all with no option but to praise him wholeheartedly, from a common man to President, Prime Minister and the Army Chief, besides recommending Sitara-e-Shujaat — a high civilian award for bravery – upon him.
