As per his remarks Peshawar rescue mission was the toughest experience of his life. It was a close combat and there were no hostages due to which they didnt have any time to plan out things. Despite all hardships he and his team fought with bravery and valor.

"khoon mei bachu ko dekh kar meine azam kiya ya woh rahen gay ya mein . Alhumdullilah Allah ne aik ankh ki qurbani qabool ki aur Allah ka karam hai hum ne sub ko wahin khatam kr dala "

During this rescue mission he got badly injured. He sacrificed one eye but he was proud and content with his service for the nation.
