Re: Musharraf defends Pakistan Army on Indian Media

Let us analyze the interview objectively can we. I think Mush did not handle the interview very well. He was not his charismatic self.
We need to understand why the Kargil issue was raised. There were regular army soldiers as a part of this misadventure. Pakistan did not bother to claim the dead claiming that only Mujaheddin was involved. An army which does not honor its own dead cant be expected to respect the dead of its enemy. Can it.

Kargil was not about root causes. It was a misadventure period. There are root causes for everything.** Was it right to dehumanize the soldiers as was done. That is the argument here**. Also India has nothing to gain by starting another misadventure. Investment is at its peak and any tensions along the line of control would lead to these investments being taken elsewhere.

Also India is not a country where Army generals make their own decisions and decide to fire across the LOC or send disguised soldiers across the LOC.

Kargil was misadventure that Pakistan should not have done. How about Siachin, was that a misadventure too that India should not have done?

What is the difference between Siachin and Kargil, can you please explain?

Is it not the case that once Pakistan army left Siachin due to cold weather, India entered into and captured Siachin, and in similar way when Indian army left Kargl due to cold weather, Pakistan entered into and captured Kargil?

Only difference is that, Indian political government handled the matter at international level in such a way that no international bodies forced india and thus Siachin is still with India. Whereas Pakistan political government of Nawaz handled the matter at international level in such a way that Pakistan was forced by international bodies to abandon Kargil … else both cases are ditto same.

As far as Musharraf in show: I do not think there was anything wrong what he said or the way he said. Actually, it seems anchor was not prepared to get appropriate and logical reply to his questions, but when he got his surprise, he ended the interview.

For instance, when Anchor said that Pakistan returned mutilated bodies and that they should not have done all this mutilation, Musharraf rightly pointed out that it is untrue and fabrication of India that Pakistan gave them mutilated bodies. Musharraf also backed his answer with logic that anchor could not take and in the end anchor became rude.

Musharraf logic was that, why Pakistan would give India mutilated bodies so that India can use those bodies as propaganda? If bodies were mutilated then Pakistan would not have given those bodies to India, rather Pakistan would have destroyed them as they were not obliged to give those bodies to India. Thus, Pakistan giving those bodies to India in itself is prove that bodies were not mutilated by Pakistan, rather if bodies seen by Indian media were mutilated, then that mutilation must have got done by Indian armed forces (or Indian government) to get millage in their propaganda war with Pakistan.

The above logical answer that Musharraf gave was so convincing that Anchor got frustrated, did everything so that the message in the answer do not get across properly, and in the end, stopped the interview so that message in the answer stays vague for Indian public with low intelligence.
