Whose Kargil version to believe?
By Amit Baruah ISLAMABAD, JUNE 13. Just when Pakistan was asking India to forget about Kargil and get on with life, the ghosts of last year’s military misadventure by Islamabad have returned to haunt the military Government of Gen. Pervez Musharraf. As the Urdu press reported today that the Government was examining the possibility of registering a treason case against the ousted Prime Minister, Mr. Nawaz Sharif, for his statement that the Army had kept him in the dark about Kargil, it became clear that the last word on the issue has not been said. As far back as July 1999, the Army Chief, Gen. Musharraf, made it clear that everyone was on board the Kargil operation. Over and over again, the military has stated that Mr. Sharif was very much in the picture as far as the operation was concerned. There is little doubt that Mr. Sharif has spoken out only after being convicted to a life term in the plane hijacking case. Till Tuesday, the former Prime Minister had only spoken in general terms
