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…
