Pakistan's main opposition PML-N party today demanded a judicial inquiry into the 1999 Kargil conflict with India.

The demand came in the wake of a retired general's revelation that the operation to send regular troops across the Line of Control was masterminded by former army chief Pervez Musharraf.

"Following the latest revelations by a close aide of Musharraf, there is no option but to seek the formation of a judicial commission to conduct an inquiry into the Kargil episode," senior PML-N leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan told reporters outside parliament.

"Though more than 500 Pakistani soldiers, including young and senior officers, were killed in Kargil, there has been no inquiry till today," he said.

In contrast, India had already carried out an inquiry into the incident and made its report public years ago, he remarked.

The comments by Khan, who is Leader of Opposition in the lower house of parliament, came in the wake of fresh disclosures by Lt Gen (retired) Shahid Aziz, who headed the analysis wing of the ISI during the Kargil conflict.

Aziz, who has written a book about his days in the army, has told the media that the Kargil operation was masterminded by a group of four generals led by Musharraf.

He has said details of the operation were hidden from other military commanders and the exact number of Pakistani casualties was still not known.

"It was a failure because we had to hide its objectives and results from our own people and the nation. It had no purpose, no planning and nobody knows even today how many soldiers lost their lives," Aziz said in a recent interview.

Khan said an independent inquiry into the Kargil conflict would ensure that no military officer could act in the same manner in future.

"Four generals conducted the operation like thieves while hiding things from the army and the government. The lives of soldiers and the respect of the army were compromised in an operation that had no approval or objective.

"f there is no accountability, another general like Musharraf could do the same thing in future," he said.

A PML-N government headed by party chief Nawaz Sharif was in power at the time when Pakistani soldiers captured strategic heights along the LoC in early 1999.

The troops were forced to withdraw following counter-attacks by Indian forces backed by artillery and airpower.

Following the Pakistan Army's debacle in Kargil, relations between Sharif and Musharraf deteriorated and the PML-N government was removed in a bloodless coup.

Though Aziz has said he had come across information that suggested Sharif was not kept totally in the dark about the Kargil operation, Khan contended that he had a 'lot of proof' about what the generals had told Sharif in 1999.

Khan said he would also raise his demand for an inquiry in the National Assembly.

Do what I said

! Don't show me some sensational stupid media like india Tv and tehelka .



LOOKS like you don't even know where these peaks are and pounding just because its in you favor .

So when the same media tells you that India has won in Kargil, it blows sunshine up your Saree but when the same source clips you around the ears, it suddenly becomes irrelevant.
Tehlka was the very source that exposed the Kargil coffin corruption.

 

[dronedevta]

he is wrong casualties were 1k+ on pak side

 

[gubbi]

election is near..and their big enemy is Mushi..Musharaf cleared all things in his last interview..but these stupids started this crap for votes..ganja nawaz..!

Now that he's a politician, he can say whatever comes to his mind. Anyway, why was there no official inquiry or investigation into the fiasco. If there was, why arent the results or even the investigation made public?

There were 3 NLI divisions including 1200 each with 700 more soldiers.

finally, the people of Pakistan will see Musharraf for the liar he is...

U mad brah? Only a few days ago they were cheering at one of the thread " Musharraf ,a true Pakistani?"
Anybody is a hero as long as he or she does or says anything against the Indians. Many of them here fail to see the bigger picture and continue to live in a well.

 

[illusion8]

Around 600 of them were buried by IA. 300 died during a single Air raid on a weapon depot, more than 150 bodies were handed over to Pakistan, Many would have been killed on the retreat - Many bodies would have been blown off during the air and artillery raids. It's much much more than 1000.

could Musharraf's @ss kicking (got inspiration for the word from similar words used in earlier threads of Mushy v/s Arnab) in Pakistani media be revenge from India for his pyrotechnics on an Indian news channel - this is just a doubt.

Can people comment whether this could be possible?

Do you have any source to back these nonsensical claims or just quoting round figures puts wind in your sails.
