Few generals were behind the Kargil war- claims Nawaz Sharif

Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif has said that a few generals, were behind the 1999 Kargil war between India and Pakistan, and not the army. While addressing the third anti-government rally of Pakistan opposition’s 11 -party alliance, the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), Sharif alleged that the task of initiating the Kargil war, which witnessed the deaths of our brave soldiers, and disgraced Pakistan in front of the world, was not done by the Army, but by a few generals. They threw not only the Army but the country and community in the war in such a place, that nothing could be achieved from it.

 "They(soldiers) did not even have weapons. They sacrificed their lives. But what did the country or community achieve?” said Sharif and added that "these generals, who were behind the Kargil war, were also the ones who plotted a coup on October 12, 1999 and declared martial law to hide their actions and escape punishment.” "Pervez Musharraf and his companions used the Army for personal gains, and disgraced them,” he added.
