For the first time, the Pakistani army has admitted to being involved in the Kargil war against India. The army said that many of its soldiers were killed in this war. India has been saying from the beginning that the Pakistani army was involved in the Kargil war. But Pakistan has been avoiding officially accepting its role.
Pakistan's lies exposed for a long time
Speaking at an event to mark Pakistan's Defence Day, Army Chief General Asim Munir said that whether it was 1948, 1965, 1971 or the Kargil war of 1999, thousands of soldiers sacrificed their lives for the country and Islam. The army chief's statement is a departure from Pakistan's long-standing official lie. Pakistan has been saying till now that Kashmiri terrorists, whom it calls Mujahideen, were involved in the Kargil war.
Army Chief General Asim Munir accepted
Now Army Chief General Asim Munir has clearly admitted that many Pakistani soldiers were killed in the Kargil war. In fact, Pakistani army soldiers had infiltrated the strategically important Kargil hills as terrorists. In a fierce battle, Indian soldiers killed them with their indomitable courage and bravery.
The brave soldiers of India had bitten the dust
This ploy of the Pakistani army to capture Indian territory backfired. It had to face a humiliating defeat. The then US President Bill Clinton forced the then Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif to order the withdrawal of his troops from the Kargil sector.
Kargil War: India's claim confirmed
India has been saying from the beginning that Pakistani army personnel were involved in the Kargil war. During his visit to China in May that year, the then Pakistan Army Chief General Pervez Musharraf's conversation with his Chief of General Staff Lieutenant General Mohammad Aziz in Rawalpindi was intercepted. This also made it clear that the Pakistani army had infiltrated Kargil under the cover of terrorists.
