Iftikhar Khan Janjua HJ & BAR[note 1] SPk SQA (Urdu: افتخار جنجوعہ; died 9 December 1971) of the Pakistan Army is one of the most senior Pakistani officers to have been killed in action.

On 23 April Brigadier Iftikhar Janjua ordered the 4 Punjab to capture point 84 by first activity around Chad Bet.

[3] The restraint shown by India would later convince Field Marshal Ayub Khan that the Indian Government was in no mood to fight.

[5] After intense fighting Mandiawala was captured, then Pallanwala and Chak Pandit, and on 9 December 1971, the first Pakistani troops entered the surrounding area around Chhamb under the personal supervision of Janjua.

It was leading from the front for which General Iftikhar Janjua is remembered even today by the troops who served in 23 Division during the Battle of Chhamb.

It was this quality which enabled him to arrive at a realistic appraisal of the actual situation without undue reliance on exaggerated reports from lower echelons and successfully take Chhamb.

[5] Major General Iftikhar Janjua was known for his boldness and for the confidence he inspired among his men by being in the front lines during the heat of the battle.

He is brother of Major General Ijaz Amjad the father in law of Qamar Javed Bajwa.
