Mush confesses to Kargil in book

A big lair atlast admits the truth

Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has for the first time said that Pakistan’s army was involved in the Kargil conflict. Pakistan has till now maintained that it’s army was not involved, even though India had insisted to the contrary.

General Musharraf claims the conflict occurred because of India’s attempts to find a casus belli (an event or political occurrence that brings about a declaration of war) by reporting ‘make-belief attacks’ from the Pakistani side.

“The Indian forces have been creeping forward since and despite the Shimla Agreement and it was because of this that the Pakistan Army decided to reinforce Pakistan’s forward positions along the Line of Control,” he says in his forthcoming autobiography In Line of Fire, which will be launched by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in New York on Monday, September 25.

“Pakistani maneuvers were conducted flawlessly with the Indians being completely oblivious of Pakistan’s new strength,” he says, adding that “India’s response was a steady build-up throughout the month of May 1998.”

“In international fora, India exploited the situation, which had a demoralising effect on Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif,” the General states. According to The Hindu newspaper, copies of the book have been leaked and that the Prime Minister’s Office in New Delhi has got access to excerpts of the book on chapters dealing with Kashmir, including the Kargil standoff.

Gen Musharraf has also revealed that Pakistan’s nuclear capabilities were not ready in 1999, at the time of the Kargil conflict. He describes Kargil as “a landmark in the history of the Pakistan Army” as just five units “in support of freedom fighters” compelled the Indians to employ more than four divisions.

He said the withdrawal ‘as no negotiation at all’, but a capitulation by Sharif to demands made by US President Bill Clinton.

In a startling revelation, Musharraf claims not only was then prime minister Nawaz Sharif aware of the Pakistan army’s plans and they even had a dry run before the incursions. Sharif was, in fact, involved throughout the planning and execution of the plan, adding that it was because of his (Musharraf’s) personal foresight that the ‘Indian plan of an offensive was pre-empted’. “He (Sharif) knew them much before he hosted Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in Lahore,” Musharraf claims in the book.

"I would like to state emphatically that whatever movement has taken place so far in the direction of finding a solution to Kashmir is owed considerably to the Kargil conflict,” Gen Musharraf claims…

=====================================================

Now the No. 1 lair atlast admits the truth who had refused to take back Pakistani soldiers dead bodies during Kargil war. According to me he will always be the same like this coz he is very chalu in making everyone fool but what do you people of Pakistan think about this ???

Re: Mush confesses to Kargil in book

We believe that we must resolve Kashmir dispute now.

Re: Mush confesses to Kargil in book

The Kargil War was a total humilation for India and its mighty Army

We took the hills and held them until the Benedict Arnold of Pakistan aka Nawaz Sharif sold us out to Clinton and we had to withdraw our troops otherwise they would have been a part of Pakistan…

But anyways that SOB is rotting Jeddah and will meet the same fate as Idi Amin another traitor who died in Jeddah after selling out his country…

Musharraf is a great statesman and is media savvy unlike his Indian counterpart…

Re: Mush confesses to Kargil in book

Musharaff Book itself is big shhhit and talking about is waste of time

Re: Mush confesses to Kargil in book

What is a number 1 lair? I believe a lair is a place where someone lives?

At any rate, where did Musharraf say that Pakistani troops crossed the border? His quote merely confirms what pakistan has always said - our troops supported freedom fighters, rather than taking part in their fight on the occupied side of the LOC.

In other words, provided direct and indirect fire from the Pakistani side of the border and facilitated supply routes from the Pakistani side into the occupied side.

And you believe the same. How gullible some people are !!!

Re: Mush confesses to Kargil in book

the indian government were making allot of noise around that time, iirc

Re: Mush confesses to Kargil in book

Now we can see, what India has been saying for years, who wantes peace and who wants war. Indian prime minister was there for peace talks and Pakistan preparing for war. Ridiculous.

Re: Mush confesses to Kargil in book

In a nutshell, Mush has accepted that Pak/he launched the aggression in Kargil but blamed Nawaz Sharif for the defeat of the Pak forces. Isn't that very convenient ? :)

LoL.stop dreaming buddy.Kashmir can never be a part of pakistan.

Re: Mush confesses to Kargil in book

heheh.. you are very comedian Merc, dont u think so buddy if Nawaz Sharif had sold all of you to Clinton then Mushy has sold all of you to Bush lol...

and believe me I tell you one thing very honestly please dont mind, that was the most embarrassing moment for people of Pakistan and their Army when this same Mushi had clearly refused to accept the Pakistani solderies and you know what Merc, some of those Pakistani soldiers dead bodies were buried in India by Indian Army with Pakistani flag on it, If you want to see those snap I can also show you that coz I still remember those days when i had seen all these with my own eyes on our media, so now you can see what kind of respect Pakistani soldiers get by Indian Army what they cant expect from their own country.

Re: Mush confesses to Kargil in book

Just because the Indian Army plants flags on bodies and buries them doesn’t make them Pakistani.

If so many Pakistani soldiers died, then isn’t it convenient that their families never complained about not getting bodies back?

Re: Mush confesses to Kargil in book

So u wanna say that Indians himself buried their soliders body under pak flags:halo:

Re: Mush confesses to Kargil in book

Please read what Ayaz Aamir has to say about Kargil (Paki's own journalist!!!)

Re: Mush confesses to Kargil in book

Gentlemen

Forget Ayaz Amir, he has nothing better to say about Pakistan & its Army

There is nothing wrong in Kargil from Pakistan, it tried some military adventure or misadventure, it failed or succeeded is not a matter of debate. The point is that if we lost we have to learn from our mistakes. Hiding one's neck like an ostrich will fail you again and again, i respect Indian forces that they learned from 1962 debacle, had they not and covered up like we Pakistanis are doing, they would have lost once it mattered the most i.e. 1965. Do not tell me that it was won by Pakistan, by all independant analysis it was a stalemate as offensives on both sides petered out. However we did not learn from 1965 and see what we got 1971 debacle. It is high time we admit our mistakes, roll some heads and aim not to repeat it again.

Re: Mush confesses to Kargil in book

Only in your dreams bro!

Re: Mush confesses to Kargil in book

well expatobserver

Humiliation there was, however the Indian Army quickly learned from its mistake, otherwise all the transit camps were full of cribs that why are soldiers being butchered due to incompetence of senior officers and bad intelligence.

Hallmark of Indian army is that it learns very quickly. They learnt their mistake, brought all the bofors from the country and rather than scaling the heights, pounded the positions so much that most of them had to be abandoned.

I was told by an Indian Officer that they almost retook 80% of the posts but they found most of the posts empty by the time they reached the objectives, General withdrawal was ordered by Pakistan after it was clear to Pakistani HIgh Command that they can't have both, apple and pie, either accept that they are your soldiers, provide them aircover and artillery cover with counterbombardment or call them back
