Ali Nouman Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Does anyone recognises the PURPLE SASH and its badge that General Zia is wearing? The other sash is for a Saudi Order of King AbdulAziz 1st Class (1980's version) and the Badge below the medals is the Order of the Star of Jordan (In some photos, he's seen wearing its Sash as well and Order of Independence (Jordan) Badge is not visible here). This is the only photo I could find where this PURPLE SASH's Badge is visible. Other photos on GettyImages, Shutterstock and Alamy, you can only see the Sash (Photo 2) 2. Visible Badges here: Order of King AbdulAziz 1st Class (1980's version), Order of the Star of Jordan and Order of Independence (Jordan) hidden behind the sash, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali Nouman Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 I couldn't find anything regarding when was Gen Zia awarded this but according to this, https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/international/story/19820228-general-zia-ul-haq-diplomatic-blitz-771556-2013-10-18 , he visited Yugoslavia in 1982. I guess they might've have given it to him then. Plus, he was also present at Tito's funeral in 1980. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IBA Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 According to wikipedia, he (General Zia ul Haq) is the first one to receive the award "Hilal-i-Imtiaz" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilal-i-Imtiaz) . I wonder does anyone have a picture of him wearing that award? I am interested in that because I believe the Hilal-i-Imtiaz at that time (1976) was the older design (first issue).
