Confessions and blaming apart, there is a definite solidification of one aspect post-Kargil :

Line-of-Control = Indo-Pak International Border.

And no matter how much people try to run away from it, there's absolutely no escaping from that.

My post
Pak role confirmed
Islamabad: Pakistan?s Army Chief Gen Parvez Musharraf now admits, after persistent
denials, that his troops had captured Indian territory across the Line of Control in the Kargil
sector in May.


Gen Musharraf blurted out this confession before tribals of the Bajaur agency in North-West
Frontier Province claiming that his troops had captured 500 sq km of Indian territory across
the LoC. ?But in the largest interest of the country, the Armed forces were withdrawn from
Kargil,? he said.

Knowing very well what the warrior-like tribals would like to hear, Gen Musharraf boasted of
Pakistani ?victory against the ten times more organised and equipped forces of India? in Kargil,
forgetting that all along Pakistan has denied its forces crossed the Line of Control in the Kargil
sector.

My rebuttal
The main thrust of my post is that Pakistan Govt and General Musharaff denied in the face of world ?s criticism that Pakistani soldiers ( May their souls rest in peace , Pakistan sent their citizens to die on the slopes of Kargil, while the children of the rich were safe in their bungalows or vacationing abroad) were not involved in Kargil conflict. Now after being exposed beyond any doubt, the top soldier admits crossing LOC - deception and lie.
The answer given by the esteemed poster, bears no resemblance to the question posed. An obfuscation. India wanted Pakistan to get back to the Pakistani side of LOC. Plain and simple. To begin with Pakistan had no respect for the LOC. And then why talk about "solidification" of LOC. LOC, pre and post-Kargil was and is a de facto international border. If Pakistan accepted LOC as International border, why did Pakistan cross it and went to the Indian side? Nobody invited them. Faulty argument. Grade: D Minus.
Nobody is running away from (it) the fact that LOC is an International border. No escape from that (the same fact.) Redundant answer. Grade D Minus.

No answer is expected., or wanted.
