Sharif approved Kargil incursions in January: Beg

Former Pakistani army chief general (Retd) Mirza Aslam Beg has lashed out at Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for making the forces a “scapegoat” in the Kargil crisis and claimed the Premier had approved the operation in January after briefings by the army and the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

Reacting to the address to the nation by Sharif on Monday on the Kargil crisis, Gen Beg said in Karachi that “armed forces are being made the scapegoat for the fiasco and the government is being credited for saving the country from a catastrophic war”.

Sharif had announced during his address that he had saved the country from a dangerous war by asking the infiltrators to withdraw from the Kargil heights. Gen Beg said Sharif had been given hours of briefings by the army and ISI on the operation that had been approved in January itself.

“Can the government deny about the hours of briefings given to Prime Minister in general headquarters and the ISI headquarters and Mujahideen operations approved as early as January 1999... Yet the army is being blamed for the Kargil fiasco”, he said.

“Gen Beg's claim also negates Sharif's argument during his address that the Kargil operation had been carried out by the “Kashmiri mujahideen”.

Reacting to the orchestrated explanations of the Pakistan government for the Kargil pullout, Gen Beg said they were results of “tragic and myopic vision” because “no government can ever be viable and can sustain itself if the armed forces are discredited and their morale is sacrificed”.
