 In The Light Of The Headlines Of The Newspaper From 10 May to 8 July 1999… 

A sight of resistance from Indian side on Kargil

Although 14 years have passed to the Kargil operation May 1999 but it is the still hot topic of discussion. Pakistani public is still unable to decide that whether the Pakistani attempt to capture Kargil peaks was right or wrong as they are part of Indian Held Kashmir; in such an environment that in spite of Shimla accord India is not ready to withdraw its forces Siachen which was captured by aggression while the only supply route for Indian aggressive forces present in Siachen passes through Kargil. In such situation was the cutting of supply route as a war strategy was right or a foolish step? Moreover, pro-Indian elements present in our media mutilate Kargil war and portray it as defeat of Pakistan just like as Indo-Pak war of 1971. These traitors are does not pay any heed to the negative impact of their propaganda (for dollars from India) on the morale of soldiers fighting a war within the country waged by Indian terrorists and agents.

            In the last days when India was internally and externally under pressure due to confession of many extremist Hindus for being involved in many terrorist attacks and activities like burning of Samjhauta Express; moreover India has also realized that after withdrawal of US forces she will have no role in Afghanistan and continuity of Indian sponsored terrorism in Pakistan will become impossible; so in order to divert the attention of Indian public and get herself out of pressure or perhaps for some future aggressive plan India started unprovoked violations and firing at LoC. First of all two of the Pakistani soldiers were martyred in an unprovoked firing and created tension on LoC igniting war mania in Indian public.

            In such serious situation the book written by General (R) Shahid Aziz (who was himself part of Kargil Operation) ‘Ye Khamoshi Kb Tk’ is something unexpected; moreover who always preferred to use English as his communication language suddenly publishes a book in Urdu makes this more suspicious. Another point of importance is that the introduction ceremony was done by such a Pakistani anchor who had gave the statement three months ago while introducing the book containing memories of Mujeeb-u-Rehman that it is a historical document and this will prove a guide for Pakistani youth. However the shocking aspect is that a Retired General of army is alleging that in Pakistan from lower ranks to higher ranks everything is based upon just lies.

            After few days people would forget General (R) Shahid Aziz and his book but the discussion over Kargil war will continue because it yet needs to ascertained that who was responsible for this operation and what were the reasons behind the failure of it. An Indian General who was part of Kargil war, ‘General Kashan’ said in an interview to Indian TV “ Kargil was won at political and diplomatic level which was claimed as military success”. But what should of those who are earning their livelihood from India in the name of AMAN KI ASHA as they are misleading general public that this war was won by Indian Army? However for the interest of our valuable readers we will just present here headlines that appeared in the Pakistani newspapers from 10 May to 8 July 1999. After reading these headlines one can easily understand that what was happening during the war, what was the stance of Benazir Bhutto, opposition leader of that time, what were the claims of the govt. of that time and how India got Kargil peaks back. In spite of all this the final decision would be of the commission established to investigate Kargil war.
